Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of nuclear facility decontamination, and in particular to a multiphase carbon dioxide decontamination and recovery system and a decontamination and recovery process. Background Art

[0002] Radioactive decontamination of nuclear facilities is the activity of removing or reducing unwanted radionuclides from the surface of the target object by using appropriate methods. Nuclear facility decontamination plays an important role in the development of the nuclear industry. For in-service nuclear facilities, decontamination can reduce the radioactivity level on site and reduce the exposure dose to personnel. For decommissioned nuclear facilities, decontamination not only reduces the exposure dose to personnel, but also achieves waste downgrading and even clean release, which is convenient for waste disposal and material recycling. However, traditional decontamination methods often have problems such as large amount of secondary waste, small decontamination factor, and low decontamination efficiency, which seriously restrict the development of the nuclear industry. Supercritical carbon dioxide and dry ice particles can both be used to remove radioactive contamination. They have the advantages of less secondary pollution, easy waste collection, and little damage to the substrate of the object. They are an important development direction for nuclear facility decontamination and have very broad application prospects in the field of maintenance and decommissioning of nuclear facilities.

[0003] Dry ice decontamination is a method that uses mechanical force and thermal energy to enhance the removal of surface contamination of the target object. Compressed air is used as the power to push dry ice particles to spray onto the surface of the object to be decontaminated. The impact force, sublimation, melting and other energy conversions of high-speed solid dry ice particles are used to quickly remove the contamination on the surface of the decontaminated object, and can remove non-fixed contamination such as dust and oil. Supercritical carbon dioxide (P>7.38MPa, T>31.19℃) has similar gas diffusivity and liquid solubility. It can be used as a solvent to directly dissolve or dissolve the target through a cleaning agent, and then remove the target through pressure reduction and separation to achieve the purpose of decontamination. The kinetic energy provided by the carrier medium of ordinary dry ice decontamination is not high, so it is difficult to remove fixed contamination, and it is difficult to recover carbon dioxide after decontamination. Supercritical carbon dioxide has been used for drug extraction and device cleaning in the general industrial field, but its ability to remove radioactive contamination is insufficient and has not been well applied in the field of nuclear industry decontamination.

[0004] In order to enhance the decontamination capacity of carbon dioxide, reduce secondary waste emissions and improve the recycling rate of decontaminants, the advantages of dry ice decontamination and supercritical carbon dioxide are comprehensively utilized, and the present invention proposes a multiphase carbon dioxide decontamination and recovery system and a decontamination and recovery process.

[0014] (2) using ethanol or acetone as an entrainer, using carbon dioxide in a supercritical state to carry the entrainer to dissolve the decontaminant to perform a soaking decontamination pretreatment on the sample to be treated placed in the decontamination container;
