Chemical Processing Technology Quarterly Progress Report, April-June 1961

Description: The Idaho Chemical Processing Plant did not operate on fuel recovery during this period, due to extensive renovation and modiflcation of facilities. Potasslum fluoride was found to be an undesirable additive to the barium precipitating agent used in formation of barium fluozirconate, because of precipitation and loss of uranium, although essentially complete precipitation of zirconium was achieved. Addition of hydrofluoric acid with barium precipitant, to achieve a fluoride/zirconium mole ratio… more

Chemical Processing Technology Quarterly Progress Report, January-March 1962

Description: The processing of Al fuel, principally of the MTR-ETR type, is reported. Processing rate averaged 90% of flow sheet values for the entire operating period, and a U recovery of 99.85% was achieved. Aqueous Zr fuel processing studles continued with the objective of adapting the HF process to continuous dissolution-complexing in order to increase the capacity of the ICPP process while using as much existing equipment as possible to minimize costs. Good results were indicated in a 190-hr run dissol… more

Chemical Processing Technology Quarterly Progress Report, October-December 1961

Description: The ICPP processed Al fuel, prtncipally of the MTR-ETR type, durtng this quarter. Newly designed and installed processing equipment exhibited excellent operating performance. This included direct-air-pulsed extraction, stripping and scrub columns, and a cascade-controlled continuous evaporator in first cycle product concentration service. Aqueous zirconium fuel processing studies continued with the objective of adapting the hydrofluoric acid process to continuous dissolution-complexing to incre… more

Chemical Processing Technology Quarterly Progress Report, July-September 1961

Description: The Idaho Chemical Processing Plant did not operate on fuel recovery during the period since numerous repairs and modifications were being made to the extraction and U concentration equipment, Ba/sup 140/ production continued on schedule; substantial decontamination of the RaLa facility was achieved and desirable replacement or repair of in-cell equipment was accomplished in the interval between two successive runs. Aqueous Zr fuel processing studies continued with the obje tive of adapting the… more

Chemical Processing Technology Quarterly Progress Report, October-December 1960

Description: ICPP Operations. Changes made in processing equipment are described, and the use of continuous steam stripping to free waste solvent of Pu is described. Agueous Processing Studies. Studies were made of methods for separating Zr from dissolver solutions of U-Zr alloys. Recovery of U from BeO/ sub 2/-UO/sub 2/ ceramic fuels by grinding-leaching technique using boiling HNO/ sub 3/ reached 75 to 80%. Waste Calcination. Test results of feed spray nozzles for use in the Demonstrational Waste Calcinin… more
