Conversion technique of salt wastes generated in pyrochemical reprocessing into oxide

Sato, Fuminori ; Myochin, Munetaka; Terunuma, Hitoshi*; Arai, Osamu*

Oxide conversion of molten salt wastes in pyrochemical reprocessing was studied as a pre-treatment of vitrification. A new method using boron oxide and water vapor was suggested from consideration of a conventional method using boric acid (H3BO3) by chemical equilibrium calculation. Applying the new method for NaCl-CsCl salt in a small-scale experiment, it was confirmed that the most of the salt was converted to oxide and the amount of the oxide wastes after the treatment could be reduced by 20% compared with the conventional method.
