Purification of Radioactive Wastes by Low Temperature Evaporation (Membrane Distillation)

Pages 709-720 | Published online: 22 Nov 2011
 

Abstract

A method of radioactive waste concentration by membrane distillation is presented. Water flow through a hydrophobic membrane results from the temperature gradient between membrane surfaces which are in contact with two waste streams, warm and cold. A transport of water from the warm to the cold stream occurs and radionuclides and other impurities are concentrated in the warm stream (retentate).
