Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a radioactive organic waste liquid distillation device and a distillation method, belonging to the technical field of radioactive waste treatment. Background Art
[0002] The Purex process is commonly used in spent fuel reprocessing to extract uranium and plutonium from components. Tributyl phosphate is used as the extractant and kerosene as the diluent. When a solvent is used for a long time in the Purex process and the extraction performance deteriorates to the point where it cannot meet the extraction rate of uranium and plutonium and the purification requirements of fission products, this part of the solvent becomes a waste organic solvent.
[0003] During the extraction process of nuclear fuel reprocessing, TBP-OK solvent produces a variety of degradation products due to radiolysis and hydrolysis, which harms the extraction process. Usually, the waste TBP is further regenerated and recycled. After several cycles of organic solvents, some degradation products cannot be removed by washing and further treatment methods are required. For example, the Karlsruhe Intermediate Plant in Germany stipulates that when the concentration of dodecanoic acid and dodecyl butyl phosphate reaches 5*10 -5 mol / L or more, the solvent needs to be replaced. The more mature process in the post-processing plant now is to use the distillation tower process to treat these waste solvents. Countries such as Germany and France have conducted corresponding research on it and applied it to engineering practice. For example, the Hague plant in France and the six plants in Japan both use distillation towers to further treat the waste solvents. The waste solvent is first evaporated and dehydrated in the dehydration evaporator under reduced pressure (about 5*103Pa), and the solvent dehydration rate reaches 1g / L. The main evaporator adopts parallel flow operation, and the main evaporator can evaporate more than 95% of the solvent, and the amount of residue obtained is less than 5%, and the residue is sent for incineration.
[0004] At present, the distillation tower is used in the reprocessing of spent fuel and the front stage of nuclear fuel cycle at home and abroad, which generally includes large equipment such as feed tank, preheater, flash vaporizer, TBP distillation tower, kerosene distillation tower, condenser cooler, TBP cooler, kerosene heavy fraction cooler, vacuum pump, etc. The distillation tower has the characteristics of large equipment, complex maintenance, low separation efficiency, and requires multiple people to control. The distillation process used in the reprocessing is

The device is a fixed two-stage distillation device with a complex structure. It is only suitable for treating a large amount of radioactive waste liquid generated by the production line. For treating a small amount of radioactive waste liquid, the construction cost of the device is too high. CN115116643A discloses a method for treating radioactive TBP / OK organic waste liquid. The method only recovers partially degraded phosphoric acid and butanol in the organic waste liquid, but cannot extract TBP from the organic waste liquid. In addition, in order to achieve the purpose described in the patent, it is necessary to build an organic waste liquid pyrolysis and pyrolysis gas filtration and treatment device.
