Title: FY2000 FRED Test Report - Final Report on the Crossflow Filter Optimization with 5.6M Sodium Salt Solution

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/777130· OSTI ID:777130

The Filtration Research Engineering Demonstration (FRED) at the University of South Carolina ran a test campaign to confirm the utility of crossflow filtration for use with the MST sorption as a strontium-actinide removal technology that is expected to be coupled with the ion exchange and solvent extraction process alternatives. FRED has a Mott Metallurgical 7 tube filter with individual tubes 10 ft long and 3/4 inch o.d. having a nominal pore size of 0.5 microns. The blend sludge consisted of a 50/50 wt percent mixture of sludge simulants of SRS Tank 40H and Tank 8F simulated sludges previously manufactured at FRED. Monosodium Titanate (MST) was blended with the 50/50 sludge mixture in a proportion of 0.9167 MST-to-Sludge ratio to provide the solids loadings analyzed in this test.
