Abstract

Uranium waste generated from the utilization of nuclear technology on radioisotope production, nuclear fuel production, calibration of fuel post-irradiation, and the purification of uranium from yellow cake. Uranium is a long-lived radionuclides and hazardous if it was entered in human body, thus requiring appropriate treatment with high safety. The processing conducted by separated the uranium which was contained on waste with ions exchange process. Uranium has been separated, later then immobilized with the polymer. The study of simulation uranium waste processing using an Alumina Silica Phosphate (ASP) has been conducted. Simulation uranium waste with the concentration of 0,05 g/l was contacted to ASP with contact timer and pH as a parameters. The Alumina Silica Phosphate which saturated with uranium, later then immobilized with epoxy resin polymer by total of waste contents as a parameter. The immobilization was conducted by mixing ASP which saturated with uranium and epoxy resin. The study showed that the best composition of ASP was obtained at the ratio of 1:1, contact time of 15 minute, and pH of 7 with absorption of uranium about 93,5%. The characteristic of polymer and the immobilization waste showed that optimum of waste content is 20% of weight with the density of 1,0538 g/cm3; compressive strength of 19,96 kN/cm2 and there was not detected the leaching of uranium which out from the polymer-waste. Therefore, ASP can be used on processing of uranium waste and could be suggested to be applied on Radioactive Waste Management Installation.

Abstract

Vitrification is considered  as the most appropriate technology for HLW treatment.  However, it has constraints, those are processability, economic, and durability. The purposes of  this study are to examine the composition of materials using bottom ash  as an alternative glassfrits for vitrification, to assess waste glass durability of selected glassfrits and analyze the economic advantage of bottom ash utilization as glassfrits. This research was conducted with simulated High Level Waste. Glass–waste was melted at its melting point. Glasses  used in the study were borosilicate glass, bottom ash glass, and bottom ash glass added  B2O3.  Parameters  used  for  selected  glassfrits  are  melting  temperature,  leaching  ratecompressive strength and cost analysis. Selected glassfrits was analyzed using XRD and performed tests to determine the effect of pH on leaching rate. The results indicated that the addition of B2O3 in glass bottom ash reduced the melting temperature. This glass has a density of 2.78 g/cm3 , leaching rate of 6.99 x 10-7. Utilization of  bottom ash as a glassfrits can save 75, 34% of cost. The results of XRD analysis explained that the devitrification formed  a crystalline of Ca-Fe-Al-S-Si-O, Fe+2Fe2 O4+3, Ca-Mg-Fe-Ti-AlSiO. the influence of pH on the leaching rate showed that the highest leaching rate was at acidic condition Keywords: vitrification, chemical durability, mechanical durability, bottom ash
