Ultrafiltration/Reverse Osmosis (Liquid-Treatment Systems)

摘要

This project is involved with the development of low-level liquid waste treatment processes. Reverse osmosis (RO) has been found to be an effective decontamination process with a large number of radioisotopes. Fiscal year 1982 saw the conclusion of reverse osmosis development with a plant design for a 40 gal/min RO unit. Background and engineering data were included to enable an applicability assessment and rough cost estimate to be made. The removal of cobalt from aqueous solutions with adsorbents was investigated. It was found that solution pH, ammonium, and sulfite ions affect cobalt removal. The effect of these factors was measured and defined in a set of prediction equations. A design for an adsorbent pilot plant was also produced which included a process schematic, solution criteria, recommended isotope-adsorbent combinations, and cost estimates. (ERA citation 07:059298)
