Process for the purification by continuous distillation of liquids which have been subjected to a radioactive contamination and apparatus for making use of the said process

摘要

The invention relates to the field of treatment of the radioactively contaminated liquids which are formed in the course of the use of nuclear plants for energy production. The continuous purification apparatus in accordance with the invention comprises a vertical body 1 in which a tubular chamber 2 and an evaporation chamber 7 are mounted. The chamber 7 consists of shells 8, 9 arranged substantially in alignment with the heating chamber 2 and fastened to the faces of the latter, and of a part of the tubes 10 of the heating chamber 2 the ends of which are situated inside the shells 8, 9. The lower shell 9 has a bottom 11. The invention is employed both for the purification of contaminated liquids and for obtaining steam of high quality. IMAGE
