Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of nuclear industry waste liquid treatment equipment technology, and in particular to an oil removal electrolytic cell for oily radioactive waste liquid, its preparation method and treatment system. Background Technology
[0002] Large quantities of oil-containing radioactive waste are generated during nuclear industry production, nuclear facility decommissioning, and radioactive waste disposal. The oil phase in this type of waste is mainly composed of various organic compounds. The presence of these organic substances seriously interferes with the recovery and treatment of radionuclides and may cause scaling and corrosion of equipment, threatening the stable operation of the system. Therefore, removing these organic components from the waste is a key step in achieving efficient treatment.
[0003] Electrocatalytic oxidation for deep oil removal is currently the mainstream solution for treating oily radioactive waste. It decomposes organic matter by generating hydroxyl radicals (·OH) through electrode reactions, producing virtually no secondary waste and possessing broad engineering application prospects. However, the electrocatalytic oxidation electrolyzer, as the core equipment of this technology, is limited by the specific application environment and operating principle, and must simultaneously meet three stringent performance requirements: (1) Insulation requirements: The electrolytic cell must be effectively isolated from the external power supply system to avoid short circuit faults caused by the conductivity of the cell; at the same time, in order to ensure the personal safety of the operators, the cell must have reliable insulation performance to prevent the risk of electric shock. (2) Pressure resistance requirements: During the electrolysis process, gases such as H2, N2, and CO2 will be generated, and the waste liquid needs to be vented and the reaction enhanced through the circulation system to avoid the accumulation of gas in the microchannel of the electrolytic cell and affect the treatment efficiency. Therefore, the system needs to provide a driving force of ≥0.3MPa, and the electrolytic cell needs to have sufficient structural strength to withstand this pressure. (3) Flame retardancy requirements: Due to the closed design of the radioactive waste liquid treatment system, hydrogen gas leaked during the electrolysis process is prone to accumulate in the closed space, posing a risk of deflagration. Therefore, the material of the electrolytic cell must meet the UL94 V-2 level or above flame retardant standard to reduce the risk of fire.
[0004] Currently, there is no technical solution in the research and development of electrolytic cells for treating oily radioactive waste that can simultaneously meet the above three performance requirements. Existing related electrolytic cells and material improvements have significant defects. For example, electrolytic cells made of single material, such as glass fiber reinforced polypropylene (FRPP), have good insulation and basic mechanical properties, but their flame retardancy is insufficient and cannot meet the UL94 V-2 flame retardancy requirements. Furthermore, directly applying a flame retardant coating will result in poor interlayer adhesion and cracking under pressure as the substrate expands. Adding flame retardants can improve flame retardancy, but it will significantly weaken the material's mechanical properties, leading to a decrease in pressure resistance and failing to meet the requirement of ≥0.3MPa. Electrolytic cells made of fiberglass have acceptable flame retardancy, but the structural strength of the material itself is limited, making it difficult to withstand pressures of 0.3MPa and above. Electrolytic cells made of all stainless steel have high mechanical strength and strong pressure resistance, but the conductivity of the metal material means that it has no insulation properties at all.
[0005] In summary, the existing technology lacks an electrolytic cell structure that can simultaneously meet the requirements of insulation, pressure resistance (≥0.3MPa), and flame retardancy (UL94V-2 level), which severely limits the large-scale application of electrocatalytic oxidation deep oil removal technology in the treatment of oily radioactive waste liquid.
[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an electrolytic cell with a reliable structure that can synergistically achieve pressure resistance, flame retardancy, and insulation properties. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an oil removal electrolytic cell for oily radioactive waste liquid, its preparation method and treatment system. The electrolytic cell has a reliable structure and can synergistically achieve pressure resistance, flame retardancy and insulation performance.
[0008] The present invention solves the above-mentioned technical problems by adopting the following technical solutions: An oil removal electrolytic cell for oily radioactive waste liquid includes, from the inside out, a FRPP matrix layer, a modified FRPP transition layer, a flame-retardant adhesive layer, and a modified reinforced high-silica cloth layer. The modified FRPP transition layer is a composite layered structure with FRPP as the substrate, embedded with a silane-based interfacial bridging medium and a thermoplastic elastomer. The flame-retardant adhesive layer is a flame-retardant silicone-based adhesive layer. The modified reinforced high-silica cloth layer is a composite reinforced structure, including a high-silica cloth substrate and a glass fiber mesh or honeycomb structure embedded inside the substrate. The inner surface of the high-silica cloth substrate is provided with a silane-based interfacial treatment layer or a low-temperature plasma treatment layer.
[0009] As one of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, the thickness of the FRPP matrix layer is 3~10mm, and its flexural modulus is ≥2900MPa.
[0010] As one of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, the thickness of the modified FRPP transition layer is 0.3~1.0 mm; and the silane-based interfacial bridging medium is KH-550 type silane coupling agent, which accounts for 1~5% of the mass of the modified FRPP transition layer; the thermoplastic elastomer is EVA elastomer, which accounts for 3~8% of the mass.
[0011] As one of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, the flame-retardant silicone-based adhesive layer has a thermal decomposition temperature ≥300℃, a flame retardant rating of UL94 V-2, and a layer thickness of 0.5~2.0mm.
[0012] As one of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, in the modified and reinforced high-silica cloth layer: The thickness of the high-silica cloth substrate is 1~4mm, and the oxygen index is ≥45%; The silane-based interface treatment layer is a KH-570 type silane coupling agent coating layer with a thickness of 50~200μm; The pore size of the fiberglass mesh is 2~5mm, and the wire diameter is 0.5~1.2mm; The honeycomb structure has a pore size of 3~8mm and a wall thickness of 0.3~0.8mm.
[0013] As one of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, the outer surface of the FRPP matrix layer facing the modified FRPP transition layer is further provided with a rough surface structure, which is formed by sandblasting or mechanical grinding, and its surface roughness Ra is 40~60μm.
[0014] A method for preparing the above-mentioned electrolytic cell includes the following steps: (1) Surface treatment of the substrate: The outer surface of the FRPP substrate layer is sandblasted or mechanically polished to form a rough surface, and then the surface dust is removed with compressed air; (2) Transition layer composite: FRPP, silane-based interfacial bridging medium and thermoplastic elastomer are blended and hot-pressed into a modified FRPP transition layer, which is then bonded to the outer surface of the FRPP matrix layer after step (1). (3) Adhesive coating: A flame-retardant silicone-based adhesive is uniformly coated on the outer surface of the modified FRPP transition layer to form a flame-retardant adhesive layer; (4) Pretreatment of high silica cloth: The inner surface of the high silica cloth substrate is treated with silane interface treatment or low temperature plasma treatment to form a treatment layer. Then, glass fiber mesh or honeycomb structure is embedded in the high silica cloth substrate to obtain a modified and reinforced high silica cloth layer. (5) Composite curing: The modified and reinforced high silica cloth layer obtained in step (4) is coated on the outer surface of the flame retardant adhesive layer. After removing air bubbles, pressure is applied, and an integrated electrolytic cell is formed through a step curing process.
[0015] As one of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, in step (3), the coating thickness of the flame-retardant silicone-based adhesive is 0.5~1.5mm. If a second coating is required, the second coating is performed after drying in a ventilated environment at room temperature for 12~24 hours, and the total adhesive layer thickness does not exceed 2.0mm.
[0016] As one of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, in step (5), the pressure applied is 0.05~0.15MPa, and the step curing process is: pre-curing at 35~45℃ for 4~8 hours, and then heating to 75~85℃ for final curing for 16~20 hours.
[0017] A system for treating oily radioactive waste liquid includes the aforementioned oily radioactive waste liquid degreasing electrolytic cell.
[0018] The advantages of this invention compared to the prior art are: (1) This invention uses FRPP matrix layer as the main insulating carrier to directly achieve effective isolation from the power supply system; by overcoming the limitations of single material or chemical modification through the outer coating composite structure, a dual support structure of "FRPP matrix + modified reinforced high silica cloth" is constructed. With the chemical bonding of the transition layer, the overall pressure resistance is guaranteed to be ≥0.3MPa by means of the flexural modulus of FRPP matrix ≥2900MPa and the embedded reinforcement structure of high silica cloth; at the same time, while retaining the original insulation and pressure resistance performance of FRPP, a double flame retardant barrier is formed by physically coating high silica flame retardant cloth, which improves the flame retardant performance to UL94 V-2 level and above, avoids the problem of insufficient adhesion of the outer coating, effectively blocks the risk of hydrogen explosion from electrolysis, and overcomes the shortcomings of single FRPP flame retardancy.
[0019] (3) The surface of the FRPP substrate of the present invention is roughened by sandblasting / mechanical grinding, and chemical bonding is achieved by the modified transition layer of the same material and the silane interface bridging medium, which completely solves the problems of weak adhesion and easy cracking of traditional coatings; at the same time, the inner surface of the high silica cloth is treated with interface to enhance the bonding force with the adhesive, and the embedded reinforcement structure avoids the composite layer from delamination failure under cold and hot cycles and pressure fluctuations, ensuring long-term stable operation under harsh working conditions and extending the service life of the equipment.
[0020] (3) The present invention adopts a step-by-step process of “surface treatment - transition layer composite - adhesive coating - high silica cloth pretreatment - composite curing”, and ensures composite quality through stepped curing (pre-curing at 35~45℃ + final curing at 75~85℃) and pressure control (0.05~0.15MPa). The secondary adhesive coating design can be flexibly adapted to different working conditions. The whole adopts a non-metallic composite structure, which has no risk of metal corrosion and significantly reduces the total life cycle operating cost compared with stainless steel electrolytic cells.
[0021] (4) This invention is adapted to electrocatalytic oxidation deep oil removal technology, which reduces COD content through electrode reaction, with virtually no secondary waste, meeting the environmental protection requirements of the nuclear industry; the non-metallic structure has good radiation resistance, which can prevent the spread of radioactive materials and meet safety standards.
[0022] In summary, this invention, through the coordinated design of materials and structure, achieves a reliable structure and comprehensively improves the electrolytic cell in terms of insulation, pressure resistance (≥0.3MPa), and flame retardancy (UL94 V-2 level). It is suitable for oil-containing radioactive waste liquid treatment systems and provides a reliable and durable innovative equipment solution for deep oil removal of oil-containing radioactive waste liquid, possessing significant technological advancement and engineering application value.

Through the four-layer composite structure design, it achieves a synergistic improvement in flame retardancy, pressure resistance, adhesion, and thermal stability. Meanwhile, Comparative Example 1 verifies the key role of the transition layer in adhesion and thermal stability. Although the flame retardancy and basic pressure resistance can be met without it, the interlayer bonding force is greatly reduced, and it is prone to cracking after thermal cycling, making long-term stable operation impossible. Comparative Example 2 proves that silane interface treatment and embedded reinforcement structure are the core technical features to ensure adhesion and thermal stability. Without them, the adhesion of the outer layer structure decreases, and the thermal stability decreases, failing to meet the technical requirements. Comparative Example 3 shows that the flame retardancy performance of a single FRPP material cannot meet the technical requirements.
[0072] In summary, this invention, through the synergistic design of materials and structure, achieves a comprehensive improvement in the electrolytic cell's insulation, pressure resistance (≥0.3MPa), and flame retardancy (UL94 V-2 level). It is suitable for oil-containing radioactive waste liquid treatment systems, providing a reliable and durable innovative equipment solution for deep oil removal from oil-containing radioactive waste liquid, and possesses significant technological advancement and engineering application value.
[0073] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
