Stabilization of Radioactive Molten Salt Waste by Using Silica-Based Inorganic Material
Abstract
This study suggested a new method to stabilize molten salt wastes generated from the pyre-process for the spent fuel treatment. Using conventional sol-gel process, (SAP) inorganic material that is reactive to metal chlorides were prepared. In this paper, the reactivity of SAP with the metal chlorides at , the thermal stability of reaction products and their leach-resistance under the PCT-A test method were investigated. Alkali metal chlorides were converted into metal aluminosilicate() and metal phosphate() While alkali earth and rare earth chlorides were changed into only metal phosphates (). The conversion rate was about at a salt waste/SAP weight ratio of 0.5 and a weight loss up to measured by thermogravimetric analysis were below 1wt%. The leach rates of Cs and Sr under the PCT-A test condition were about . From these results, it could be concluded that SAP can be considered as an effective stabilizer for metal chlorides and the method using SAP will give a chance to reduce the volume of salt wasteform for the final disposal through further researches.
