Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of radioactive waste incineration, and specifically to a test system and test method for radioactive waste incineration processes. Background Technology
[0002] Incineration is a crucial method for reducing the volume of radioactive waste. A large proportion of radioactive waste generated during the operation and decommissioning of nuclear industries is combustible, including cardboard boxes, plastic bags, wooden boards, cotton yarn and rags, gloves, protective clothing, hats, and masks. After incineration, the vast majority of radionuclides are concentrated in the incineration ash, which is only a fraction of the volume of the original waste, significantly reducing the costs of storage, transportation, and final disposal. Simultaneously, organic matter is converted into inorganic matter through incineration, becoming inert ash, improving stability and safety, and facilitating disposal. Therefore, incineration has become one of the primary methods for treating radioactive combustible waste and is widely used worldwide.
[0003] Currently, my country has established several incineration facilities for treating radioactive combustible solid waste, and these facilities have achieved relatively good social and economic benefits in practical application. However, some problems have also been exposed during long-term operation, such as the plastic and rubber content of the actual waste exceeding the design value, severe corrosion of the exhaust gas purification system equipment, and a high equipment failure rate. At the same time, radioactive waste incineration technology also needs to be continuously improved according to the new requirements of the new era, such as: receiving a higher proportion of plastic and rubber, processing more types of radioactive waste, reducing exhaust gas pollutants, and reducing the amount of secondary waste generated.
[0004] To continuously conduct process research and experimental verification of radioactive waste incineration technology, and to upgrade and transform existing technologies by drawing on new technologies and processes to improve performance and continuously meet my country's needs for radioactive combustible waste treatment, the radioactive combustible waste incineration treatment system and equipment mainly includes multiple parts such as waste pyrolysis, combustion, exhaust gas cooling, dust removal, and absorption. Each unit and piece of equipment has different treatment objects and operating conditions, and is often large in size and complex to operate. In addition, each unit and piece of equipment is connected in series and does not have independent operating conditions.
