Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of nuclear power plant exhaust gas treatment technology, and in particular to an activated carbon column structure for Kr-85 gas collection. Background Technology

[0002] During the operation of a nuclear power plant, waste gas containing radioactive inert gases is generated, primarily isotopes of krypton (Kr) and xenon (Xe). These gases mainly originate from the fission reaction of nuclear fuel and are released into the waste gas system when the fuel cladding breaks or a nuclear fuel leak occurs. Although inert gases are chemically stable, their radioactivity can affect human health through inhalation or external exposure, especially at high concentrations, requiring strict monitoring. During normal operation of a nuclear power plant, the amount of radioactive inert gases krypton (Kr) and xenon (Xe) is usually very small. Therefore, to meet the requirements of the detection device for the enrichment, separation, collection, and detection of Kr-85 gas, a large amount of waste gas needs to be collected. This necessitates that the activated carbon column in the first enrichment and separation unit of the detection device has a sufficiently large volume to adsorb all the collected gas. Otherwise, if the activated carbon column reaches saturation, the detection results will be distorted, thus affecting the detection of krypton-85 (Kr-85). 85 The calculation of Kr concentration poses a safety risk to nuclear power plants.

[0003] In existing Kr-85 gas detection devices, the activated carbon column in the first enrichment and separation unit is usually designed as a "U"-shaped tube structure. This structure has a large external size, resulting in a very large external size for both the first enrichment and separation unit and the final Kr-85 gas detection device, as well as high energy consumption during operation.

[0004] Therefore, how to make nuclear power plants use krypton-85 ( 85 Miniaturization and low energy consumption of Kr gas concentration detection devices are urgent problems to be solved in this field. Utility Model Content

The filter is fixedly connected to the stainless steel bottle and located inside the stainless steel bottle, dividing the interior of the stainless steel bottle into an upper space and a lower space. Activated carbon is filled in the upper space. The air inlet pipe extends into the interior of the stainless steel bottle and communicates with the lower space.

[0008] The Kr-85 gas collecting active carbon column structure further comprises a gas outlet pipe fixedly connected with the stainless steel bottle body and in communication with the inside of the stainless steel bottle body and located above the stainless steel bottle body.

[0022] Among them, the outlet pipe 104 is fixedly connected with the stainless steel bottle body 101, and is communicated with the inside of the stainless steel bottle body 101, and is located above the stainless steel bottle body 101.When gas is desorbed, it is discharged through the outlet pipe 104 above the stainless steel bottle body 101, and a filtering device is arranged at the gas outlet of the outlet pipe 104 to prevent activated carbon from being taken out by the gas.

[0023] Secondly, the heater 105 is detachably connected with the stainless steel bottle body 101, and is located at the outer periphery of the stainless steel bottle body 101.The heater 105 is installed on the outer periphery of the stainless steel bottle body 101, and the temperature sensor 106 is installed near the heater 105 and in the activated carbon in the bottle respectively, for temperature control of the activated carbon column.
