Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of air purification experimental equipment, specifically to an experimental device for the alkaline removal of iodine-based aerosols and a method for regional sampling and measurement. Background Technology

[0002] In pressurized water reactor nuclear power plants, radioactive iodine is a fission product of the reactor and is generally contained within the fuel cladding, with very small amounts leaking into the environment. However, in the event of a severe accident involving radioactive leakage in the nuclear reactor, especially when fuel elements melt down or the cladding ruptures, radioactive iodine can leak through the cracks. After a core meltdown accident, a complex environment of high temperature and high humidity is created within the containment vessel under a reducing steam atmosphere, reducing most of the released radioactive iodine into radioactive soluble iodine aerosols (such as CsOH and CsI).

[0003] Removal of radioactive iodine aerosols using alkaline spray solutions is one of the main pathways for such removal. These soluble aerosols exhibit significant hygroscopic growth behavior in the high-humidity environment of the containment and may dissolve in droplets. The pH value of the spray pool is a key factor determining the volatility of iodine, an important fission product. Increasing the pH value can significantly improve iodine aerosol removal and reduce iodine volatilization. However, if the spray solution is alkaline, the particle density, particle size, shape, and chemical composition of iodine aerosols may change in the environment, greatly affecting aerosol coagulation, diffusion, sedimentation, and other kinetic behaviors, thus significantly impacting the aerosol removal efficiency of the spray system.

[0004] Extensive research has been conducted on the spray removal of non-hygroscopic aerosols, but research on alkaline spray removal of iodine-based aerosols is largely lacking, especially when the spray solution is alkaline and involves chemical reactions of iodine. Based on specific experimental conditions, the following are the main challenges:

[0005] a. The interaction between spray droplets and iodine aerosol within the containment space can effectively remove most of the radioactive iodine aerosol within the containment. However, because the spray from the nozzle is cone-shaped, there are areas within the containment that cannot be covered by the spray droplets. The aerosol behavior characteristics in different areas vary significantly, making it impossible to quickly perform real-time, high-precision online monitoring of iodine aerosol in different areas of the alkaline spray removal experimental device.

[0006] b. Currently, the most common aerosol measurement device in the nuclear energy field is the optical particle counter. Its working principle is based on laser diffraction technology; when a laser beam passes through a sample, the particles scatter the light. This scattered light is focused onto a detector and converted into an electrical signal. By analyzing the relationship between the intensity of the scattered light and the particle size, the particle size distribution characteristics are obtained. However, when measuring particle size, the optical particle counter's operating conditions are limited to normal temperature and pressure due to the electronic components in the sensor. High-temperature and high-humidity carrier gas environments, as well as the presence of water droplets under spray conditions, may damage the optical particle counter's measurement probe, ultimately leading to significant errors in the measurement results of soluble iodine aerosols. How to improve the temperature range and humidity resistance of the particle counter, and how to perform online sampling of soluble iodine aerosols and iodine vapor under limited measurement conditions, has become an urgent problem to be solved in this field.

[0007] c. Currently, the Welas 3000 particle size analyzer manufactured by Palas Copco is commonly used in the nuclear energy field. It is equipped with a sampling pipeline heated along the sampling path and a series of series pressure reducing devices to ensure that the carrier gas in the sampling pipeline is in a superheated state, preventing the presence of droplets from affecting the high-precision measurement of aerosols. However, soluble iodine aerosols exhibit significant hygroscopic growth behavior in the high-humidity environment of the containment and may dissolve in droplets. When the carrier gas of iodine aerosol is superheated during sampling, the physical form of iodides may change, leading to a large error in the high-precision analysis of iodine aerosols.

An electric valve is installed on the iodine vapor pipeline 604. The input end of the single-element iodine vapor evaporation tank 602 is connected to a first air compressor 2. The electric valve, the single-element iodine vapor evaporation tank 602, and the steam generator 603 are all electrically connected to a controller. In specific implementation, the single-element iodine vapor evaporation tank 602 is a tank equipped with a heating wire.

[0057] The gas phase temperature control component includes several heating wires 7 installed on the wall of the spray test tank 1.

The heating wires 7, temperature sensors 8, and electric telescopic rod 9 are all electrically connected to a controller. In practice, several temperature sensors 8 are also installed on the outer wall of the spray test tank 1. Simultaneous temperature monitoring using the temperature sensors 8 on the electric telescopic rod 9 and the outer wall of the spray test tank 1 generates real-time temperature signals. When the gas phase temperature is insufficient, a control signal controls the DC power supply, thereby controlling the power of the heating wires 7 to achieve temperature regulation.

[0058] The spray test tank 1 includes a suction zone 101 at the top, a circulation zone 102 below the suction zone 101, and a spray zone 103 below the circulation zone 102. Sampling tubes 3 are provided in the suction zone 101, the circulation zone 102, and the spray zone 103.

The heating wire 7 of the heating and insulation device 121 is embedded in the tube wall of the sampling tube 3. The heating and insulation device 121 can prevent the iodine aerosol and iodine vapor condensation section from being too long, which would cause a large measurement error.

[0060] The sampling tube 3 is connected to the wall of the spray test tank 1 through the flange 10, and the sampling tube 3 is located inside the spray test tank 1. A baffle plate 11 is provided at one end of the sampling tube 3 near the center of the spray test tank 1.

The input end of the multi-in-one connector is connected to all sampling tubes 3 respectively, and the output end of the multi-in-one connector is connected to particle size spectrometer 122. A cooling device 123 is installed at the input end of particle size spectrometer 122. A short-distance cooling device 123 is arranged at the rear end of the sampling channel where it is connected to the probe of particle size spectrometer 122. This can reduce the condensation section and aerosol condensation loss, and can also meet the requirement of cooling the sampling gas flow when the gas phase temperature is too high in some working conditions, thus expanding the sampling working environment of particle size spectrometer 122. Heating and insulation device 121, particle size spectrometer 122 and cooling device 123 are all connected to the controller.

[0062] The output end of the multi-in-one connector is also equipped with a cleaning component, which includes a second air compressor 131.

An exhaust gas outlet 16 is also located at the top of the spray test tank 1, and the exhaust gas outlet 16 is connected to the fiber filter via a pipe. Both the waste liquid outlet 14 and the exhaust gas outlet 16 are equipped with electric valves connected to a controller. In specific implementation, since the spray water contains alkaline substances, dilute hydrochloric acid needs to be added to the water tank and the pH value needs to be measured with a pH meter until the pH value of the waste liquid is between 6.5 and 7.5.

[0064] The side wall of the spray test tank 1 is also equipped with an observation window 17 and an inspection door.
