Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of radioactive trinity waste treatment in nuclear power plants, and particularly relates to an automatic metering and neutralization device and method. Background Art

[0002] During the normal operation of nuclear facilities, a large amount of radioactive waste liquid will inevitably be generated. These waste liquids are treated through collection, storage decay, ion exchange, filtration, etc. After the treated waste liquid is monitored and qualified, it is discharged. The unqualified waste liquid is treated by evaporation. However, the concentrated sediment generated after evaporation treatment (collectively referred to as radioactive concentrated waste liquid) contains a large amount of radioactive substances. Generally, the cement solidification treatment process is used to solidify it into a solid body for solid waste treatment. Although the traditional cement solidification process is simple, the volume increase ratio is relatively large. In order to minimize radioactive waste, in recent years, the "evaporation and drying" technology has been adopted to evaporate the radioactive concentrated waste liquid generated by nuclear facilities. This process collects the radioactive concentrated waste liquid generated during the evaporation treatment of the waste liquid in a concentrated waste liquid receiving tank, and then directly transports the radioactive concentrated waste liquid to a metal barrel in a barrel dryer through a concentrated waste liquid transfer pump. The concentrated waste liquid in the barrel is dried by heating the metal barrel. The concentrated waste liquid in the barrel is dried into a solid substance. The dried barrel can be super-compacted, and then the barrel cake is fixed and temporarily stored in a metal barrel, or it can be directly fixed in a high-integrity concrete container and sent to the final disposal site for treatment.

[0003] This treatment process has the following problems:

[0004] Since the radioactive concentrated waste liquid generated by nuclear facilities contains components such as NaOH and boric acid, the waste package after this treatment process contains strongly corrosive substances, which does not meet the requirements for the harmless treatment and disposal of radioactive waste to ensure permanent safety.

[0005] The waste package after this treatment process contains strongly corrosive substances, which does not meet the requirement in the national standard "Safety Regulations for the Near-Surface Disposal of Low- and Medium-Level Radioactive Solid Wastes" GB9132-2018 that the waste package should not contain strongly corrosive substances.

[0006] To solve the above problems, a device needs to be designed so that the waste package generated after the evaporation and drying of radioactive concentrated waste liquid does not contain strongly corrosive substances and meets the requirements for radioactive waste disposal. Summary of the Invention

[0007] Objective:

[0008] The present invention designs an automatic metering and neutralization device and method, enabling the radioactive concentrated waste liquid generated by nuclear facilities to be first metered, and then a neutralization reaction is carried out on the radioactive concentrated waste liquid according to the metering results using the principles of acid and alkali neutralization. The amounts of acid and alkali required for neutralization are automatically measured based on the pH value and automatically calculated. The injection amounts of acid and alkali are controlled through feedback interlock signals, and then the neutralized radioactive concentrated waste liquid is sent into the barrel dryer for evaporation and drying treatment, ensuring that the radioactive waste package does not contain strongly corrosive substances, not only meeting the requirements for the final disposal of the waste package, but also realizing the reduction, harmless treatment and disposal of radioactive waste, and ensuring the goal requirements of permanent safety.

[0012] An automatic metering and neutralization method, including Step 1: transporting radioactive concentrated waste liquid to a metering and neutralization tank; Step 2: neutralizing the radioactive concentrated waste liquid; Step 3: evaporating and drying the radioactive concentrated waste liquid.

[0013] Step 1: Transporting radioactive concentrated waste liquid to a metering and neutralization tank, including the following steps:

[0014] (1) After the radioactive waste liquid is evaporated by the evaporator of the radioactive waste liquid treatment system, the generated concentrated waste liquid is transported to the concentrated waste liquid receiving tank for storage by the concentrated waste pump. After temporary storage and decay, the outlet valve of the concentrated waste liquid receiving tank, the inlet valve of the concentrated waste liquid transport pump, the inlet valve of the metering and neutralization tank, and the exhaust valve are opened;

[0015] (2) Start the concentrated waste liquid transport pump to transport the radioactive concentrated waste liquid to the metering and neutralization tank. When the liquid level reaches 70% of the effective volume of the metering and neutralization tank, the concentrated waste liquid transport pump and the inlet valve of the metering and neutralization tank are automatically shut down through interlock control; close the outlet valve of the concentrated waste liquid receiving tank and the inlet valve of the concentrated waste liquid transport pump for radioactive concentrated waste liquid transport.

[0016] Step 2: Neutralizing the radioactive concentrated waste liquid, including the following steps:

[0017] (1) Start the PH automatic measurement and dosing controller. The online PH meter measures the PH value of the radioactive concentrated waste liquid in the metering and neutralization tank, and the volume of the radioactive concentrated waste liquid in the metering and neutralization tank is obtained through the liquid level meter;

[0018] (2) Start the stirring paddle motor to make the stirring paddle in a working state;

[0019] (3) The PH automatic measurement and dosing controller determines the reagent to be neutralized according to the PH value and volume of the radioactive concentrated waste liquid, calculates the amount of reagent to be added, and performs the neutralization dosing operation through remote control commands;

[0020] (4) If the system determines that the reagent to be added is an acidic solution, the system opens the outlet valve of the acid storage tank, the inlet valve of the dosing pump, and the outlet valve of the dosing pump, then starts the dosing pump. When the flow meter measures the set amount, the system shuts down the dosing pump and closes the outlet valve, the inlet valve of the dosing pump, and the outlet valve of the dosing pump;

[0021] (5) If the system determines that the reagent to be added is an alkaline solution, the system opens the outlet valve of the acid storage tank, the inlet valve of the dosing pump, and the outlet valve of the dosing pump, then starts the dosing pump. When the flow meter measures the set amount or the measured value of the liquid level meter reaches 90% of the effective volume of the metering and neutralization tank, the system shuts down the dosing pump and closes the outlet valve of the acid storage tank, the inlet valve of the dosing pump, and the outlet valve of the dosing pump;

[0022] (6) After the medicament is added to the metering neutralization tank, a neutralization reaction takes place in the tank. After the neutralization reaction ends after a period of time, remotely check the online pH meter to obtain the measured value. If it reaches 6.5 - 7.5, the neutralization reaction ends;

[0023] (7) If the measured value obtained by the online pH meter is less than 6.5 or greater than 7.5, the system executes according to steps 3 and 4;

[0024] (8) Turn off the pH automatic measurement and dosing controller.

[0025] Step 3: Evaporation and drying of radioactive concentrated waste liquid, including the following steps:

[0026] (1) Place the waste barrel in the in-barrel dryer through the roller path;

[0027] (2) Open the outlet valve of the metering neutralization tank and the inlet valve of the in-barrel dryer, and drain the waste liquid in the metering neutralization tank into the in-barrel dryer. After the liquid level in the in-barrel dryer reaches 80%, close the outlet valve of the metering neutralization tank and the inlet valve of the in-barrel dryer through interlocking;

[0028] (3) Open the inlet valve of the condenser, start the in-barrel dryer for evaporation and drying. At this time, the steam passes through the steam-water separation filter and enters the condenser for condensation. After the condensed water generated by condensation reaches a certain liquid level height, open the inlet valve of the condensate discharge pump, the outlet valve of the condensate discharge pump, and start the condensate discharge pump to discharge it into the special underground water discharge and collection system of the plant. After the discharge is completed, turn off the condensate discharge pump, and close the inlet valve of the condensate discharge pump and the outlet valve of the condensate discharge pump;

[0029] (4) When the liquid level in the condenser no longer rises within a certain period of time, it indicates that the evaporation of the waste liquid in the in-barrel dryer has reached the requirement. At this time, open the outlet valve of the metering neutralization tank and the inlet valve of the in-barrel dryer, and drain the waste liquid in the metering neutralization tank into the in-barrel dryer. After the liquid level in the in-barrel dryer reaches a certain height, close the outlet valve of the metering neutralization tank and the inlet valve of the in-barrel dryer through interlocking, and cycle until the weight of the in-barrel drying device reaches a certain amount or the solid liquid level in the barrel reaches a certain height, then the heating device stops, and the single-barrel evaporation and drying operation is completed;

[0030] (5) Repeat the above steps until all the radioactive concentrated waste liquid in the metering neutralization tank is completely evaporated and dried;

[0031] (6) The waste barrels after evaporation and drying are subjected to subsequent treatment according to the process flow.

[0046] The valves of this system adopt solenoid valves and are automatically controlled by a PLC. The PLC control is programmed using the Siemens S7.0 version to control the solenoid valves in the system, so as to realize the automatic operation and control of the system.

[0047] As shown in the figure, the working process of an automatic metering and neutralization device and method provided by the present invention is as follows:

[0048] First, all the valves in this system are set to the closed state (initial state);

[0049] Step 1: Transport the radioactive concentrated waste liquid to the metering and neutralizing tank

[0050] 1. The concentrated waste liquid generated after the radioactive waste liquid is evaporated by the evaporator of the radioactive waste liquid treatment system is transported to the concentrated waste liquid receiving tank 1 for storage by the concentrated waste pump. After temporary storage and decay, the concentrated waste liquid receiving tank outlet valve 2, the concentrated waste liquid transport pump inlet valve 3, the metering and neutralizing tank inlet valve 20, and the exhaust valve 26 are opened;

[0051] 2. Start the concentrated waste liquid transport pump 4 to transport the radioactive concentrated waste liquid to the metering and neutralizing tank 21. When the measured value of the liquid level meter 27 reaches 70% of the effective volume of the metering and neutralizing tank, stop the concentrated waste liquid transport pump 4 through interlock control and close the metering and neutralizing tank inlet valve 20;

[0052] 3. Close the outlet valve 2 of the concentrated waste liquid receiving tank and the inlet valve 3 of the concentrated waste liquid transfer pump to complete the transfer of radioactive concentrated waste liquid.

[0053] Step 2: Neutralization of radioactive concentrated waste liquid

[0054] Start the PH automatic measurement and dosing controller 31. The online PH meter 29 measures the PH value of the radioactive concentrated waste liquid in the metering neutralization tank 21, and the volume of the radioactive concentrated waste liquid in the metering neutralization tank 21 is obtained through the liquid level gauge 27.

[0055] Start the stirring paddle motor 24 to make the stirring paddle in the working state.

[0056] The PH automatic measurement and dosing controller 31 determines the reagent to be neutralized according to the PH value and volume of the radioactive concentrated waste liquid, calculates the amount of reagent to be added, and performs the neutralization dosing operation through the remote control command.

[0057] If the system determines that the reagent to be added is an acidic solution, the system opens the outlet valve 14 of the acid storage tank, the inlet valve 17 of the dosing pump, and the outlet valve 19 of the dosing pump, then starts the dosing pump 18. When the flowmeter measures the set amount, the system stops the dosing pump 18, and closes the outlet valve 14 of the acid storage tank, the inlet valve 17 of the dosing pump, and the outlet valve 19 of the dosing pump.

[0058] If the system determines that the reagent to be added is an alkaline solution, the system opens the outlet valve 14 of the acid storage tank, the inlet valve 17 of the dosing pump, and the outlet valve 19 of the dosing pump, starts the dosing pump 18. When the flowmeter measures the set amount or the measured value of the liquid level gauge 27 reaches 90% of the effective volume of the metering neutralization tank, the system stops the dosing pump 18, and closes the outlet valve 14 of the acid storage tank, the inlet valve 17 of the dosing pump, and the outlet valve 19 of the dosing pump.

[0059] After the reagent is added to the metering neutralization tank 21, a neutralization reaction occurs in the tank. After a period of time when the neutralization reaction ends, remotely check the measurement value of the online PH meter. If it reaches 6.5 - 7.5, the neutralization reaction ends.

[0060] If the measurement value of the online PH meter is less than 6.5 or greater than 7.5, the system executes according to steps 3 and 4.

[0061] Close the PH automatic measurement and dosing controller 31.

[0062] Step 3: Evaporation and drying of radioactive concentrated waste liquid

[0063] Place the waste barrel in the barrel dryer through the roller track.

[0064] Open the outlet valve 22 of the metering neutralization tank and the inlet valve 5 of the in-bar dryer, and drain the waste liquid in the metering neutralization tank into the in-bar dryer 6. After the liquid level of the in-bar dryer 6 reaches 80%, close the outlet valve 22 of the metering neutralization tank and the inlet valve 5 of the in-bar dryer through interlocking;

[0065] Open the inlet valve 8 of the condenser, start the in-bar dryer for evaporation drying. At this time, the steam passes through the steam-water separation filter 7 and enters the condenser 9 for condensation. After the condensed water generated by condensation reaches a certain liquid level height, open the inlet valve 10 of the condensate discharge pump, the outlet valve 12 of the condensate discharge pump, and start the condensate discharge pump 11 to discharge it to the special sewage discharge collection system in the plant. After the discharge is completed, close the condensate discharge pump 11, and close the inlet valve 10 of the condensate discharge pump and the outlet valve 12 of the condensate discharge pump.

[0066] When the liquid level of the condenser no longer rises within a certain period of time, it indicates that the evaporation of the waste liquid in the in-bar dryer has reached the requirement. At this time, open the outlet valve 22 of the metering neutralization tank and the inlet valve 5 of the in-bar dryer, and drain the waste liquid in the metering neutralization tank into the in-bar dryer 6. After the liquid level of the in-bar dryer reaches a certain height, close the outlet valve 22 of the metering neutralization tank and the inlet valve 5 of the in-bar dryer through interlocking, and cycle until the weight of the in-bar drying device reaches a certain amount or the solid liquid level in the in-bar reaches a certain height, then the heating device stops, and the single-bar evaporation and drying operation is completed;

[0067] Repeat the above steps until all the radioactive concentrated waste liquid in the metering neutralization tank 21 is completely evaporated and dried;

[0068] The waste barrels after evaporation and drying are processed subsequently according to the technological process.

After temporary storage and decay, the outlet valve (2) of the concentrated waste liquid receiving tank, the inlet valve (3) of the concentrated waste liquid transport pump, the inlet valve (20) of the metering and neutralizing tank, and the exhaust valve (26) are opened; (2) Start the concentrated waste liquid transport pump (4) to transport the radioactive concentrated waste liquid to the metering and neutralizing tank (21). When the liquid level gauge (27) reaches 70% of the effective volume of the neutralizing tank, stop the concentrated waste liquid transport pump (4) and the inlet valve (20) of the metering and neutralizing tank through interlock control; close the outlet valve (2) of the concentrated waste liquid receiving tank and the inlet valve (3) of the concentrated waste liquid transport pump to stop transporting the radioactive concentrated waste liquid; select 30% - 60% dilute sulfuric acid as the neutralizing agent for the radioactive waste liquid; Step 3: evaporating and drying the radioactive concentrated waste liquid, including the following steps: (1) Place the waste barrel on the in-barrel dryer through the roller path; (2) Open the outlet valve (22) of the metering and neutralizing tank and the inlet valve (5) of the in-barrel dryer, and drain the waste liquid in the metering and neutralizing tank into the in-barrel dryer (6). After the liquid level in the in-barrel dryer (6) reaches 80%, close the outlet valve (22) of the metering and neutralizing tank and the inlet valve (5) of the in-barrel dryer through interlock control; (3) Open the inlet valve (8) of the condenser, start the in-barrel dryer for evaporation and drying. At this time, the steam passes through the steam-water separation filter (7) and enters the condenser (9) for condensation. After the condensed water generated by the condensation reaches a certain liquid level height, open the inlet valve (10) of the condensate discharge pump, the outlet valve (12) of the condensate discharge pump, start the condensate discharge pump (11) to discharge it to the special sewage discharge and collection system in the plant. After the discharge is completed, close the condensate discharge pump (11), and close the inlet valve (10) of the condensate discharge pump and the outlet valve (12) of the condensate discharge pump; (4) When the liquid level in the condenser no longer rises within a certain period of time, it indicates that the evaporation of the waste liquid in the in-barrel dryer has reached the requirement. At this time, open the outlet valve (22) of the metering and neutralizing tank and the inlet valve (5) of the in-barrel dryer, and drain the waste liquid in the metering and neutralizing tank into the in-barrel dryer (6). After the liquid level in the in-barrel dryer reaches a certain height, close the outlet valve (22) of the metering and neutralizing tank and the inlet valve (5) of the in-barrel dryer through interlock control, and repeat the cycle until the weight of the in-barrel drying device reaches a certain amount or the solid liquid level in the barrel reaches a certain height, then the heating device stops, and the single-barrel evaporation and drying operation is completed; (5) Repeat the above steps until all the radioactive concentrated waste liquid in the metering and neutralizing tank (21) is completely evaporated and dried; (6) The waste barrels after evaporation and drying are processed subsequently according to the technological process.

4. A method for automatic metering and neutralization as described in claim 3, characterized in that: Step 2: neutralizing the radioactive concentrated waste liquid, including the following steps: (1) Start the PH automatic measurement and dosing controller (31). The on-line PH meter (29) measures the PH value of the radioactive concentrated waste liquid in the metering neutralization tank (21), and obtains the volume of the radioactive concentrated waste liquid in the metering neutralization tank (21) through the liquid level gauge (27). (2) Start the stirring paddle motor (24) to make the stirring paddle in the working state. (3) The PH automatic measurement and dosing controller (31) determines the reagent to be neutralized according to the PH value and volume of the radioactive concentrated waste liquid, calculates the amount of reagent to be added, and performs the neutralization dosing operation through the remote control command.

5. An automatic metering and neutralization method as described in claim 3, characterized in that: Step two: Neutralization of radioactive concentrated waste liquid further includes the following steps: (1) If the system determines that the reagent to be added is an acidic solution, the system opens the outlet valve (14) of the acid storage tank, the inlet valve (17) of the dosing pump, and the outlet valve (19) of the dosing pump, and then starts the dosing pump (18). When the flow meter measures the set amount, the system stops the dosing pump (18), and closes the outlet valve (14) of the acid storage tank, the inlet valve (17) of the dosing pump, and the outlet valve (19) of the dosing pump. (2) If the system determines that the reagent to be added is an alkaline solution, the system opens the outlet valve (14) of the acid storage tank, the inlet valve (17) of the dosing pump, and the outlet valve (19) of the dosing pump, and then starts the dosing pump (18). When the flow meter measures the set amount or the measured value of the liquid level gauge (27) reaches 90% of the effective volume of the metering neutralization tank, the system stops the dosing pump (18), and closes the outlet valve (14) of the acid storage tank, the inlet valve (17) of the dosing pump, and the outlet valve (19) of the dosing pump. (3) After the reagent is added to the metering neutralization tank (21), a neutralization reaction occurs in the tank. After a period of time when the neutralization reaction ends, remotely check the measured value of the on-line PH meter. If it reaches 6.5 - 7.5, the neutralization reaction ends. (4) If the measured value of the on-line PH meter is less than 6.5 or greater than 7.5, the system executes according to steps 3 and 4. (5) Close the PH automatic measurement and dosing controller (31).
