Separations Campaign (TRP)
The stability of the association of iodine with FCC and NOM products were studied. Product distributions for the various matrices under various reaction conditions were examined in order to maximize the binding of iodine. The recovery of the iodine from the sequestration matrices was also examined, along with the conversion of the iodine to matrices more suitable for geological storage and/or use as transmutation targets.
The following are the specific research objectives and goals:
- Develop bench-scale experimental set-up and procedures for simulating plutonium extraction process (PUREX) head-end vapor phase.
- Develop experimental procedures for evaluating iodine sequestering methods using bench-scale procedures. …
