UF6 hydrolysis column, hydrolysis system and hydrolysis process

Abstract

The invention relates to a UF6 hydrolysis column, a hydrolysis system and hydrolysis process. According to the invention, the top part of the UF6 hydrolysis column is provided with a water inlet (3), an air outlet (5) and a cyclic hydrolysate inlet (4); the bottom part of the UF6 hydrolysis column is provided with a hydrolysate outlet (12); the middle part of the UF6 hydrolysis column is provided with an air inlet pipe (8) which extends into the interior of a hydrolysis column shell (1); the air inlet pipe (8) is provided with an electric heat tracing mechanism (16); the end part of the air inlet pipe (8) extending into the hydrolysis column shell (1) is connected with a spray nozzle (7) which is equipped with a heat-preservation mechanism; and a hydrolysate outlet pipeline (13) connected with the hydrolysate outlet (12) is connected with a hydrolysate cyclic bypass (14) which is connected with the cyclic hydrolysate inlet (4). The UF6 hydrolysis column provided by the invention can guarantee the concentration of the hydrolysate therein, has uniform temperature; meanwhile, UO2F2 crystals located at the spray nozzle can be prevented from occurrence, and stability and safety are high; and the hydrolysis system and the hydrolysis process can realize continuous hydrolysis of UF6, and complete hydrolysis is guaranteed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of gasification and hydrolysis process in the chemical conversion process of nuclear fuel element production line, and specifically relates to a UF 6 Hydrolysis column, hydrolysis system and hydrolysis process. Background technique [0002] In the production of nuclear fuel elements in my country, UF 6 Preparation of Ceramic UO for Wet Conversion of Raw Materials 2 For powder or granules, it is necessary to first gasify uranium hexafluoride, which is solid at room temperature, into a gas, then react with water to form an aqueous solution of uranyl fluoride (gasification and hydrolysis process), and then obtain ADU slurry after precipitation and solid-liquid separation Body, continue drying and calcining to get U 3 o 8 powder, and finally through sol-gel, washing and drying, reduction sintering and other processes to obtain qualified ceramic UO 2 core particles. [0003] UF 6 Is a strong oxidizing agen...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

It is found from the many years of production and operation practice of domestic nuclear fuel element plants that the traditional UF 6 There are deficiencies in the design of the hydrolysis device, and the concentration and temperature of the hydrolyzate in the entire column are not uniform.
