Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The patent of this invention belongs to the technical field of radioactive nuclear waste treatment, and relates to a microwave sintering solidified body and solidification method for radioactive mud. Background Art
[0002] Nuclear energy is highly valued as a clean and renewable energy source, and its development has positive effects in many areas. However, it is accompanied by the challenge of radioactive waste disposal. Radioactive waste is generated throughout multiple links related to nuclear energy. Improper disposal of the medium- and high-level radioactive mud formed after treatment can cause serious consequences such as ecological disasters. The safe and effective disposal of radioactive mud is of great significance.
[0003] Current conventional practices for radioactive waste disposal and different solidification methods:
[0004] 1. Internationally, radionuclides are usually fixed in matrix materials to form solid bodies, which are then placed in disposal repositories for disposal and monitoring, which places high demands on the performance of the solid bodies.
[0005] 2. Cement solidification is commonly used for intermediate and low-level radioactive waste. It was developed early, has mature technology, wide application, simple treatment, large production capacity, and low cost. It can treat nuclear waste through various solidification processes. Asphalt solidification is suitable for a variety of wet wastes and powdered wastes and has advantages such as simple process.
[0006] 3. High-level radioactive waste is often treated by vitrification, ceramics, or glass-ceramics. Vitrification involves mixing relevant raw materials in proportion and then heating, melting, and cooling them to form a glass body. Ceramic curing utilizes high-temperature solid-phase reactions to allow radioactive nuclides to enter lattice sites, forming multiple mineral phases. Glass-ceramics curing involves combining radioactive waste with a specific glass matrix to precipitate ceramic crystals to form a solid body, combining the advantages of both glass and ceramic solid bodies.
[0007] The current sintering technologies for nuclear waste solidification include traditional Joule sintering technology, spark plasma sintering technology and microwave sintering technology. Among them, microwave heating is safer and more reliable than conventional heating, has strong environmental adaptability, and has many advantages such as selective heating, which is beneficial to improving material properties. However, there are no related invention reports on the process and method of quickly fixing radioactive mud using microwave sintering technology. Summary of the Invention

[0037] Technical effects and advantages of the present invention:
[0038] 1. The present invention utilizes microwave sintering technology to adjust the formula composition of silicate glass particles, simulated radioactive nuclides Nd2O3 and simulated radioactive mud base material powder, and adjusts the sintering process to achieve the purpose of rapidly treating radioactive mud. By combining X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy-selected electron diffraction (HRTEM-SAED) and chemical stability testing for analysis, a SiO2-Na2O-Al2O3 silicate solidified body substrate is selected, and the formula composition of the glass solidified body or glass-ceramic solidified body for solidifying the radionuclides in the radioactive mud or simulating radionuclides and the microwave sintering process are used to prepare a SiO2-Na2O-Al2O3 silicate glass solidified body material with high efficiency in fixing radionuclides and silicate apatite (A I x A II 10-x (BO4)6O2(A=Na, Ca and Nd)) glass ceramic solid body material;
[0039] 2. The present invention can realize the solidification treatment of simulated radioactive mud containing 32 wt% Nd2O3 in the SiO2-Na2O-Al2O3 silicate glass solidified material, and no other phases appear in the sample; the glass solidified body of simulated radioactive mud containing 30 wt% Nd2O3 is mainly composed of Si4O 11 6- The main structural unit is sheet silicate group, Si4O 11 6-The integration of sheet silicate groups and SiO2 three-dimensional network structural units exceeds 50%, showing an excellent glass polymerization degree. The SEM-EDS results show that the surface of the glass solid body of the simulated radioactive mud containing 30 wt% Nd2O3 is flat and smooth, and Al, Si, Na, Ca, O, and Nd elements are evenly distributed in the glass solid body without any element enrichment; HRTEM-SAED results show obvious disorder of the amorphous structure and amorphous diffraction rings. Therefore, the SiO2-Na2O-Al2O3 silicate glass solid can achieve efficient fixation of simulated radioactive mud containing 30 wt% Nd2O3, while having a large volume reduction ratio and excellent glass polymerization degree. The normalized leaching rates of Nd and Si elements (RLNd and RLSi) in a 90°C deionized water environment are less than 2.5 × 10-6 g·m-2·d-1 and 1 × 10-3 g·m-2·d-1, respectively. The glass solid has good chemical stability, meeting the expected requirements of the nuclear industry (1×10-2 g·m-2·d-1).
[0040] 3. Using the present invention, silica apatite (A I x A II 10-x In the (BO4)6O2 (A = Na, Ca and Nd)) glass ceramic solidification material, the solidification treatment of simulated radioactive mud containing 40 w% Nd2O3 can be achieved, and (Ca, Na) x Nd 10-x (SiO4)6O2 Ca-silicon oxyapatite and Na-silicon oxyapatite phases, and the XRD spectrum structure has a steamed bun peak, the solidified sample is silicon oxyapatite (A I x A II 10-x (BO4)6O2 (A = Na, Ca and Nd)) glass-ceramic materials, SEM-EDS results show that the solidified body of simulated radioactive mud containing 40 w% Nd2O3 has hollow tubular structures and needle-shaped crystals. Nd, Ca, Na, Si and O elements are rich in the needle-shaped tubular structures, and Al, Na, Si, O and a small amount of Nd are distributed on the surface of the glass structure except the residual interface of the needle-shaped tubular structure; Na+ and part of Nd3+ are mixed in the AnI site, forming a tetrahedral NaNd9(SiO4)6O2 crystal phase structure with the surrounding 9 oxygen atoms. Another Ca 2+ Replace A I Na + and Nd 3+ Occupy the AI position, the rest of the Nd 3+ Occupies A IIPosition, with the surrounding 7 oxygen atoms to form a decahedral Ca2Nd8(SiO4)6O2 crystal structure, the tetrahedron and the decahedron through the SiO4 tetrahedron, an O(4) site and an O 2- The remaining small amount of Nd is fixed in the SiO2-Na2O-Al2O3 glass phase, and the Ca2Nd8(SiO4)6O2 and NaNd9(SiO4)6O2 glass-ceramic solids have extremely high solid solubility. The Nd element is "confined" in the silicate apatite crystal structure, and the remaining Nd is fixed in the glass structure of the glass-ceramic. This fixing mechanism provides a second layer of protection for the fixation of the Nd element, making the normalized leaching rates of Nd and Si (RLNd and RLSi) in a deionized water environment at 90°C lower than 1.76 × 10-6 g·m-2·d-1 and 1 ×10-3 g·m-2·d-1, respectively. The glass-ceramic solid material has excellent chemical stability, meeting the expected requirements of the nuclear industry (1×10-2 g·m-2·d-1).

By adopting the present invention, only the microwave sintering process is adjusted, and the simulated radioactive mud and silicate glass particles are pretreated to achieve vitrification and glass-ceramic treatment of 32 wt% and 40 wt% Nd2O3. The preparation process is simple, easy to apply in engineering, can be widely used in the solidification treatment of radioactive mud, and has strong usability. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0107] Example 19
[0108] The difference from the previous embodiment is that a silicate (A I x A II 10-x A (BO4)6O2 (A = Na, Ca and Nd)) glass-ceramic solid material is prepared by mixing 40 wt% of the simulated radioactive mud obtained in Example 14 and 60 wt% of the silicate glass particle powder obtained in Example 2, mixing and drying to obtain a mixed powder, recorded as sample number SG60-Nd40; the mixed powder is placed in a microwave muffle furnace and heated to 1000°C at a heating rate of 20°C / min, then heated to 1200°C at a heating rate of 10°C / min, and kept at the target temperature for 40 minutes, and then naturally cooled to room temperature to obtain Ca2Nd8(SiO4)6O2 and NaNd9(SiO4)6O2 glass-ceramic solid materials;
[0109] The solidified bodies in Examples 1-19 are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings;
[0110] from Figure 1-4 It can be seen from the XDR spectrum that SG50 and SG60 do not have too many obvious diffraction peaks, while Figure 4 It is concluded that when the sintering temperature is 1200 and 1300 degrees Celsius, SG50 and SG60 have no peaks, so no diffraction peaks will appear when the sintering temperature is 1200 degrees Celsius;
[0111] And through Figure 5 The XDR spectrum shows that when Nd2O3 is 30wt% or less, no diffraction peaks appear. Figure 6 It is shown in the figure that when the mass percentage of Nd2O3 is 31wt%-39wt%, no diffraction peaks appear at 31wt% and 32wt%. Therefore, the SiO2-Na2O-Al2O3 silicate glass solidification material can be used for the solidification treatment of simulated radioactive mud containing 32w% Nd2O3, and no other phases appear in the sample.
[0112] The main components of the glass solidified body of simulated radioactive mud containing 30 wt% Nd2O3 are Si4O 11 6- The main structural unit is sheet silicate group, Si4O 11 6- The sheet silicate group and SiO2 three-dimensional network structure unit are more than 50%, showing an excellent glass polymerization degree. Figure 7-8 The SEM-EDS results show that the surface of the glass solidified body of the simulated radioactive mud containing 30 wt% Nd2O3 is flat and smooth, and the elements Al, Si, Na, Ca, O, and Nd are evenly distributed in the glass solidified body without any element enrichment;
[0113] The solidification treatment of simulated radioactive mud containing 40w% Nd2O3 can be carried out by using silica apatite (A I x A II 10-x (BO4)6O2(A=Na, Ca and Nd)) glass ceramic solidification material, (Ca, Na) appeared from the sample x Nd 10-x (SiO4)6O2 Ca-silicon oxyapatite and Na-silicon oxyapatite phases, and the XRD spectrum structure has a steamed bun peak, the solidified sample is silicon oxyapatite (A I x A II 10-x (BO4)6O2(A=Na, Ca and Nd)) glass ceramic materials, such as Figure 9-11The SEM-EDS results show that the solidified body of the simulated radioactive mud containing 40 w% Nd2O3 has hollow tubular structures and needle-shaped crystals. Nd, Ca, Na, Si and O elements are rich in the needle-shaped tubular structures, while Al, Na, Si, O and a small amount of Nd are distributed on the surface of the glass structure of the residual interface except the needle-shaped tubular structure. Na+ and part of Nd3+ are mixed in the AnI site, forming a tetrahedral NaNd9(SiO4)6O2 crystal phase structure with the surrounding 9 oxygen atoms. Another Ca 2+ Replace A I Na + and Nd 3+ Occupy the AI position, the rest of the Nd 3+ Occupies A II Position, with the surrounding 7 oxygen atoms to form a decahedral Ca2Nd8(SiO4)6O2 crystal structure, the tetrahedron and the decahedron through the SiO4 tetrahedron, an O(4) site and an O 2- They are interconnected to form a solid body; the remaining small amount of Nd element is fixed in the SiO2-Na2O-Al2O3 glass phase. The formed Ca2Nd8(SiO4)6O2 and NaNd9(SiO4)6O2 glass-ceramic solid bodies have extremely high solid solubility. The Nd element is "confined" in the silicate apatite crystal structure, and the remaining Nd is fixed in the glass structure of the glass-ceramic. This fixing mechanism provides a second layer of protection for the fixation of the Nd element.
