Behavior and Removal of Organic Species in the Savannah River Plant Effluent Treatment Facility.

摘要

The Effluent Treatment Facility (ETF) at the Savannah River Plant (SRP) is a new facility designed to treat and decontaminate low-level radioactive wastewater prior to release to the environment. The waste water is primarily composed of evaporator overheads from the chemical separations and waste handling facilities at SRP. Primarily a 2000 mg/L NaNO sub 3 solution, the wastewater also contains microcuries- per-liter quantities of radionuclides and milligram-per-liter concentrations of heavy metals and organic components. Both the composition of the wastewater to be treated and a physical description of the facility have been given. 6 refs., 2 figs. (ERA citation 13:048254)
