Embodiment 1

[0041] Such as figure 1 As shown, the concentrated radioactivity level is 7000Bq / L, and the radioactive wastewater concentration method with a salt content of 2g / L.

[0042](1) When the system is started, the membrane modules are automatically flushed with non-radioactive water, and then enter the normal working procedure.

[0043] (2) Pre-treatment of radioactive wastewater: Ultrafiltration removes suspended solids, colloids and other impurities in radioactive wastewater, and the treated radioactive wastewater enters the raw material tank.

[0044] In addition, this process can also use technologies such as microfiltration and sand filtration to remove impurities such as suspended solids and colloids.

[0045] (3) The pre-treated radioactive wastewater is introduced into the reverse osmosis concentration unit for reverse osmosis concentration, the concentrated solution with intercepted radioactive elements is introduced into the concentration tank, and the infiltrated clean ...

Embodiment 2

[0057] The radioactive wastewater treated in this embodiment has a radioactivity level of 5000Bq / L and a salt content of 1g / L.

[0058] Concentration procedure is substantially the same as Example 1, except that:

[0059] (1) The reverse osmosis concentration unit adopts a two-stage reverse osmosis membrane system. The first-stage reverse osmosis system is divided into three sections, and the total recovery rate of the reverse osmosis system is 80%. The fresh water radioactivity of the two-stage reverse osmosis system is 150 Bq / L and 50 Bq / L respectively, and the fresh water produced by the last-stage membrane system is discharged. The concentrate produced by the first-stage reverse osmosis system all enters the concentration tank, with a salt content of about 5g / L.

[0060] (2) The heating temperature of the concentrate in the concentration tank is controlled at 55 degrees, and the circulation flow rate of a single membrane module in the membrane distillation concentration u...

Embodiment 3

[0064] The radioactivity level of the radioactive wastewater treated in this embodiment is 3000Bq / L, and the radioactive wastewater with a salt content of 3g / L.

[0065] Concentration process is basically the same as embodiment, difference is:

[0066] (1) The reverse osmosis concentration unit adopts a three-stage reverse osmosis membrane system, the first-stage reverse osmosis system is divided into three sections, and the total recovery rate of the reverse osmosis system is 70%. The fresh water radioactivity of the three-stage reverse osmosis is 100 Bq / L, 50 Bq / L, and 10 Bq / L respectively, and the fresh water produced by the last-stage membrane system is discharged. The concentrate produced by the first-stage reverse osmosis system all enters the concentration tank, with a salt content of about 9g / L.

[0067] (2) The heating temperature of the concentrate in the concentration tank is controlled at 60 degrees, and the circulation flow rate of a single membrane module in the...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for concentrating radioactive waste water. The method for concentrating the radioactive waste water comprises the following steps that the radioactive waste water is led in a reverse osmosis concentrating unit to carry out primary reverse osmosis concentration, and reverse osmosis concentration liquid holding radioactive elements is led into a concentration trough; the concentration liquid in the concentration trough is led into a membrane distillation unit to carry out deep concentration; a conductive probe used for measuring the conductivity of the concentration liquid is arranged in the concentration trough, and when the conductivity in the concentration trough is higher than a set conductive threshold value, the reverse osmosis concentration liquid is stopped from being led into the concentration trough, the membrane distillation concentration of the membrane distillation unit is stopped as well, and the concentration liquid in the concentration trough is led out to carry out solidified treatment. Compared with the prior art, the reverse osmosis and the membrane distillation are adopted as cores in the novel method for concentrating the radioactive waste water, the deep concentration of the reverse osmosis concentration liquid can be achieved, the volume of the radioactive waste liquid is further reduced, the concentration multiple can reach the level similar to that of an evaporation technology, and the energy consumption is only 30-50% that of the evaporation technology.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a sewage treatment technology, in particular to a method for concentrating radioactive wastewater in the nuclear industry; in addition, the invention also relates to a system for treating radioactive wastewater using the method. Background technique [0002] The main goal of radioactive wastewater treatment is to reduce the amount of radioactive waste as much as possible. No matter which treatment method is adopted, the radionuclide is actually concentrated and enriched into a very small volume of liquid medium or solid medium, and most of the liquid meets the relevant requirements before being cleared. Concentrate the liquid medium enriched with radionuclides, such as the concentrated water of the membrane process, and the distilled residue of the evaporation process. Solid media such as ion exchange resins. These materials end up as radioactive waste for long-term geological storage. An important principle of radioactive w...
