chlorine bond
 Oxidation Reduction
 Detoxifying toxic wastes in which the
chemical bonds are broken by the
passage of electronics from one reactant
to another
 LAND DISPOSAL TREATMENT TECHNOLOGIES FOR
HAZARDOUS WASTES
 Can either be in or on the ground
 Landfill or injection well
 Common destination for most wastes
 Can have inherent environmental risks involved
 LAND FILLING
 Excavated sites where non liquid
hazardous waste is deposited for final
disposal and covered
 SURFACE IMPOUNDMENT
 Man made excavations or diked areas
 Used for temporary storage or
treatment
 DEEP – WELL INJECTION
 Uses injection wells to place treated or
untreated liquid waste itnto geologic
formation that have no potential to
allow migration of contaminants to
potential water aquifiers
 Has Concentric Pipes
 Target Contaminant Groups
 VOCs, SOCs, Fuels, Explosives, Pesticides
 NOISE POLUTION
 Unwanted or disturbing sound that reduces
quality of life or disrupts daily activities
 LEVELS ( dB not stated in PPT)
 Faint
 Soft
 Moderate
 Loud
 TREATMENT
 Very Loud
 Uncomfortable
 Painful and dangerous
 RADIOACTIVE WASTE MANAGEMENT
 Radioactive Waste
 Byproduct produced from many industries
such as mining, nuclear power generation,
scientific research
 Needs to be isolated or diluted
 VERY LOW LEVEL WASTE
 Not considered harmful to people or
environment
 Demolished material produced during
rehabilitation or dismantling operations
on nucelear industrial sites
 LOW LEVEL WASTE
 Not exceeding four giga – becquerels per
tonne ( GBq/t)
 Does not requiring shielding during
handling and transpo
 Generated from hopsitals and industrial
and nuclear fuel cycle
 Compacted and incinerated
 90% of volume but only 1% of the
radioactivity of radio active waste
 INTERMEDIATE
 More radioactive than LLW
 Het it generates is < 2 kW/m^3
 Some shielding
 Smaller items and any solids is either
solidified in concrete or bitumen for
disposal
 7% of volume and has 4% of rafioactivity
of radioactive waste
 HIGH LEVEL
 Heat >2kW/m^3
 Cooling and Shielding
 Emerges from the “burning” of uranium
fuel in nuclear reactor
 3% of volume but 95% of total
radioactivity of produced waste
 TWO KINDS
 Used fuel
 Separated waste from reprocessing
of used waste
 Reduces the total volume of radioactive
waste
 Radioactivity remains the same but
becomes more concentrates as volume
is reduced
 INCINERATION
 Used for LLW
 1000 degrees C
 Resulting ash undergoes conditioning
  COMPACTION
 For LLW and ILW
 Compaction force ranges from 5 tonnes
( Low force compaction) to over 1000
tonnes ( super compaction)
 Low force compaction makes use of
hydraulic or pneumatic press
 CONDITIONING
 Radioactive waste is converted into
more stable, solid and insolutble forms
 Making use of matrix materials which
depends on level of waste
 CEMENTATION
 Grout
 Waste is mixed with powdered grout
and allowed to set in container
 Result = concrete block of waste
 VITRIFICATION
 Borosilicate Glass
 Glass is stable and long lasting
 HLW, most often in liquid form is
calcined into powder then mixed with
molten glass then transferred to metal
container
 STORAGE
 LLW are stored when disposal is not
readily available
 HLW and ILW are stored in order to
allow the heat to cool down and
radioactivity to decay
 STORAGE PONDS
 Pool w waters 7-12 m deep
 Circulating water cools and shields fuel
assemblies
 Transferred to dry storage after atleast
5 years
 DRY STORAGE
 Fuel assemblies typically from storage
ponds are stored in a dry steel cask with
a thick layer of concrete surrounding it
 Storage lasts 50 years before disposal
 MULTI PURPOSE CANNISTERS
 Capable of holding 89 fuel assemblies
 Designed for up to 45kW of heat
 Made out of stainless steel
 DISPOSAL
 Radioactive waste are placed into
protected dumping facilities inaccessible
by the public
 Depth of facilities increases w level of
radioactivity
 NEAR SURFACE DISPOSAL
 LLW and short lived ILW
 DEEP GEOLOGICAL DISPOSAL
 Long lived ILW and HLW
