Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of nuclear power waste treatment and environmental protection, and specifically relates to a preparation method of a noble metal catalyst, a catalyst and a use thereof. Background Art

[0002] Nuclear power is a green, low-carbon, clean energy with mature technology. It is one of the most practical and feasible technical ways for mankind to solve the energy problem. However, nuclear power produces a large amount of highly radioactive waste - spent fuel, and its safety issue is one of the main factors restricting the large-scale promotion and application of nuclear power.

[0003] As we all know, the current utilization rate of nuclear fuel in nuclear power reactors is not high. Spent fuel contains a large amount of unconverted uranium and value-added nuclides, and is an important nuclear element resource library. Major nuclear power countries, including China, mostly adopt a closed nuclear fuel cycle route, using physical and chemical methods to separate and purify useful nuclear elements such as uranium, plutonium, and neptunium in spent fuel, and recycle them. In the Purex process, when Pu(IV) is reduced to Pu(III), monomethylhydrazine (CH3N2H3) and dimethylhydroxylamine are used as reducing agents, which will produce a large amount of nitric acid waste liquid containing reducing agents. According to the principle of minimizing radioactive waste in spent fuel reprocessing, the acidic waste liquid is evaporated, concentrated, destroyed, decomposed, and absorbed in the subsequent process to achieve the recovery and utilization of nitric acid, and the remaining slag is vitrified and solidified and then buried for deep treatment.

[0004] Dimethylhydroxylamine and monomethylhydrazine have strong reducing properties and are a type of high-energy, easily oxidized and explosive substances. In order to avoid the risk of explosion during the waste liquid concentration process, the monomethylhydrazine must be destroyed and removed in advance.

[0005] At present, the methods for removing the reducing agent that are well known to those skilled in the art mainly include adding an oxidant such as sodium nitrite or introducing nitrogen tetroxide gas, etc., which can oxidize the reducing agent into formic acid, formaldehyde, methanol, nitrous oxide, nitrogen, water, nitric oxide, etc. However, the disadvantages of this technical solution are: large consumption of oxidant and high cost; violent reaction and certain safety risks in engineering application; new solid waste sodium nitrate that is difficult to handle is generated when sodium nitrite is used as an oxidant; nitrogen dioxide makes the solution more corrosive to the equipment, the primary utilization rate is low and there is a risk of leakage.

[0006] Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned problems existing in the treatment of radioactive waste liquid, it is urgent to develop a new type of precious metal catalyst to remove monomethylhydrazine and dimethylhydroxylamine from nitric acid solution in an efficient, safe, economical and environmentally friendly manner.
