【 摘 要 】

The Savannah River Technology Center (SRTC) - Immobilization Technology Section (ITS) was requested to perform simulant bench-scale flowsheet studies to qualify Sludge Batch 3 (SB3), the next sludge batch to be processed at the Defense Waste Processing Facility (DWPF). Simulant flowsheet runs have been performed for every sludge batch that has been qualified for DWPF processing to date. SB3 will consist primarily of Tank 7 sludge, but will also contain transfers from other tanks and processes at the SRS and other materials not considered typical for DWPF processing. Projections also indicate that SB3 may contain higher than previously observed levels of noble metals. Over the last year, SRTC has focused significant effort on studies to understand the behavior of SB3 and to evaluate any necessary process changes.
