Currently, the main methods for removing nitrate include catalytic denitrification, electrodialysis, reverse osmosis, biological denitrification and ion exchange.

[0077] Example 1
[0078] A system for treating radioactive organic-nitrate slurry, such as Figure 1 , comprising a steam reforming reaction device 3, a carbon reduction reforming reaction device 5 and a filtering device;
[0079] The steam reforming reaction device 3 is provided with a first slag discharge port, a first additive inlet, a first feed inlet, a first oxidant inlet and a first discharge port; the position of the first slag discharge port is lower than that of the first additive inlet, the first feed inlet and the first oxidant inlet; the position of the first discharge port is higher than that of the first additive inlet, the first feed inlet and the first oxidant inlet;
[0080] The carbon reduction reforming reaction device 5 is provided with a second slag discharge port, a second additive inlet, a second feed inlet, a second oxidant inlet and a second discharge port; the position of the second slag discharge port is lower than that of the second additive inlet, the second feed inlet and the second oxidant inlet; the position of the second discharge port is higher than that of the second additive inlet, the second feed inlet and the second oxidant inlet; the first discharge port is connected with the second feed inlet;
[0081] The filtering device is provided with a third slag discharge port, a third feed inlet and a third discharge port; the position of the third slag discharge port is lower than that of the third feed inlet; the second discharge port is connected with the third feed inlet.
[0082] In this embodiment, the steam reforming reaction device 3 is a fluidized bed reactor, which is divided into two parts. The lower part is a first fixed section 31, i.e. a solid bed containing first solids 30, which is in the shape of an inverted circular truncated cone; the upper part is a first enlarged section 32, which is in the shape of a cylinder and is partially filled with the first solids 30, forming a larger-diameter separation space, the first enlarged section 32 reduces the gas velocity and causes the solid particles to separate from the rising gas. Most of the particles sucked into the fluidized gas fall to the bed by gravity. The first slag discharge port is arranged on the first fixed section 31. The first additive inlet, the first feed inlet, the first oxidant inlet and the first discharge port are arranged on the first enlarged section 32.
[0083] In this embodiment, the top of the steam reforming reactor 3 is provided with a cyclone separator, which includes a dust hopper 301 and a return pipe 302. In this case, the air outlet of the dust hopper 301 is the first discharge port, and the return pipe 302 can be inserted into the first solid 30. The cyclone separator can effectively remove most of the fine particles entrained in the fluidized gas. The return pipe 302 can make the solid particles fall back to the steam reforming reactor 3. The process gas of the steam reforming reactor 3 mainly consists of water vapor, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, carbon monoxide and nitrogen, and also contains trace amounts of volatile organic compounds and acidic gases, as well as some solid products and carbon particles.
[0084] In this embodiment, the slurry tank is connected to the first feed port, and a feed pump 2 is provided between the slurry tank and the first feed port. In this embodiment, a temporary storage tank is also provided between the slurry tank and the feed pump 2 to provide a larger storage capacity to minimize the frequency of waste transfer from the facility. In this embodiment, the feed pump 2 uses a peristaltic pump, as they require minimal maintenance and only involve hose replacement. In other embodiments, a screw pump can also be used for larger systems.
[0085] In this embodiment, the first additive feed tank 1 is connected to the first additive inlet, and the first additive feed tank 1 contains mineralization additives, metal catalysts and reducing agents. In this embodiment, the mineralization additives and reducing agents are provided by two loss-in-weight feeders with airlocks, and the metal catalysts and other additives are provided by a hopper with a remote isolation valve. The outlets of the two feeders and the hopper are connected to the first additive feed tank, and then enter the steam reforming reactor 3 at a height close to the center of the first solid 30 through a common solid conveying pipeline. During this process, a small amount of nitrogen can be used for purging to keep the pipeline unobstructed. In this embodiment, clay is used as the mineralization additive to convert accumulated product solids into completely immobilized insoluble products, which are removed semi-continuously from the first slagging port. Iron oxide is used as the metal catalyst, which is directly introduced through the first additive inlet during operation. Carbon is added semi-continuously in the steam reforming reactor 3 as a reducing agent to provide carbon for the reforming reaction and energy for the reforming reaction.
[0086] In this embodiment, the oxygen supply system and the steam boiler are connected to the first oxidant inlet. The radioactive organic nitrate slurry is injected by the feed pump 2 into the bottom of the first solids 30, i.e. above the first oxidant inlet. The water in the slurry is instantaneously vaporized and superheated upon contact with the high temperature first solids 30 to the bed temperature. As the water in the slurry vaporizes, the dry slurry solids are rapidly heated to the reaction temperature. The organic material in the slurry is volatilized and pyrolyzed upon contact with the hot bed solids. The volatile organic materials undergo steam reforming in the bed and are converted to nitrogen gas upon contact with the reducing agent on the bed. The inorganic constituents, such as alkali metals, non-volatile heavy metals, radionuclides, S, Cl, F, P, etc., combine with the co-reactants, such as clay, to form stable, high melting point, crystalline minerals, which become the final solid product. The superheated steam, residual acid gases, powdered product particles and some carbon powder are carried out of the first solids 30 by the fluidized and reaction product gases flowing upward.
[0087] In this embodiment, the oxygen monitor and the hydrogen monitor are installed at the first discharge outlet. For the purpose of process control, the steam reforming reactor 3 monitors the process gases at the first discharge outlet, including the on-line display of oxygen and hydrogen. The hydrogen monitor is used to control the level of reducing agent in the steam reforming reactor 3. The conversion of nitric acid, nitrate and nitrite to nitrogen is directly proportional to the level of hydrogen generated in the steam reforming reactor 3. If the hydrogen level exceeds the desired level (15 vol%), the amount of carbon added should be reduced. If the hydrogen level is below the desired level (15 vol%), the rate of carbon addition should be increased. If the oxygen content in the first discharge outlet increases to more than 2 vol%, the entire process system needs to be shut down, at which time, the oxygen, steam and waste are isolated in the steam reforming reactor 3, and the nitrogen supply system is used to perform a nitrogen purge of the entire system. During the nitrogen purge, nitrogen is introduced from the first additive inlet and / or the first discharge outlet and is removed from the first discharge outlet.
[0088] In this embodiment, the carbon reduction reforming reactor 5 is a fluidized bed reactor, which is divided into two parts. The lower part is the second fixed section 51, i.e. the solid bed containing the second solids 50, which is in the shape of an inverted circular truncated cone. The upper part is the second expanded section 52, which is in the shape of a cylinder and is partially filled with the second solids 50 to form a larger diameter separation space, which reduces the gas velocity and allows the solid particles to separate from the rising gas. Most of the particles that are drawn into the fluidized gas fall back to the bed by gravity. The second discharge outlet is provided on the second fixed section 51. The second additive inlet, the second feed inlet, the second oxidant inlet and the second discharge outlet are provided on the second expanded section 52.
[0089] In this embodiment, the second additive feed tank 4 is connected to the second additive inlet, and the second additive feed tank 4 contains calcium carbonate. In this embodiment, the calcium carbonate is provided by a hopper with a fill / close valve at the top and a solids dump valve at the bottom, and the solids dump valve of the hopper is connected to a solids feed line into the carbon reduction reforming reactor 5, which is purged with a small amount of air to keep the line open during feeding.
[0090] In this embodiment, the oxygen supply system is connected to the second oxidant inlet. In this embodiment, the carbon reduction reforming reactor 5 is positioned downstream of the steam reforming reactor 3 and is fluidized by the gas from the first outlet and the incoming oxygen. Fine solid particles eluted from the steam reforming reactor 3 also enter the carbon reduction reforming reactor 5 along with the process gas, and the carbon is converted to carbon dioxide, reducing the carbon fines in the eluted solids; trace amounts of acidic gases produced in the steam reforming reactor 3 are removed by reaction with the calcium bed particles composed of the second solids 50 of the carbon reduction reforming reactor 5, producing mineralized calcium compounds; and residual volatile organic compounds, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen are oxidized to carbon dioxide and water vapor.
[0091] In this embodiment, an oxygen monitor is installed at the second outlet. The oxygen monitor controls the output of oxygen to the carbon reduction reforming reactor 5. The excess oxygen concentration level is set during the process operation, and then automatically controlled during operation. The normal excess oxygen content of the tail gas from the carbon reduction reforming reactor 5 is 2% to 8% by volume of free oxygen volume.
[0092] In this embodiment, a cooler 53 is provided in the pipeline connecting the second outlet of the carbon reduction reforming reactor 5 to the third inlet, for cooling the hot off-gas from the second outlet of the carbon reduction reforming reactor 5.

In this embodiment, the pulse bag filter 6 is a vertical vessel, and the purpose is to remove and collect fine solid particles eluted from the carbon reduction reforming reactor 5. In this embodiment, an electric heater is provided on the outside of the pulse bag filter 6 to maintain the temperature of the filter elements and the vessel therein above the dew point of the gas to prevent moisture condensation on the filter medium during start-up and shutdown.
[0094] In this embodiment, a vacuum ejector 61 is provided between the pulse bag filter 6 and the activated carbon adsorber 7. The exhaust gas filtered by the pulse bag filter 6 will pass through the vacuum ejector 61. The exhaust fan 9 provides negative pressure for the vacuum ejector 61 to maintain the separation space of the pulse bag filter 6, the carbon reforming reaction device 5, and the steam reforming reaction device 3 in a negative pressure state.
