A process for the reduction in volume of waste products of low radioactivity.

摘要

A method of reducing the volume of spent ion exchange resins containing radioactive contaminants, and a filter aid having groups reactive with the functional groups of the resins. Spent ion exchange resin and the filter aid are dewatered, then subject to a pressure of about 2000 psi in conjunction with 250 DEG C heat to reduce the volume occupied by the resin by up to a factor of 5 and impart rewet stability.
