Title: Mixing of Process Heels, Process Solutions and Recycle Streams: Small-Scale Simulant

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/783817· OSTI ID:783817

The overall objective of this small-scale simulant mixing study was to identify the processes within the Hanford Site River Protection Project-Waste Treatment Plant (RPP-WTP) that may generate precipitates and to identify the types of precipitates formed. This information can be used to identify where mixtures of various solutions will cause precipitation of solids, potentially causing operational problems such as fouling equipment or increasing the amount of High Level Waste glass produced. Having this information will help guide protocols for flushing or draining tanks, mixing internal recycle streams, and mixing waste tank supernates. This report contains the discussion and thermodynamic chemical speciation modeling of the raw data.
