Pyroprocessing includes such terms as ore-roasting, calcination and sintering. Equipment for pyroprocessing includes kilns, electric arc furnaces and reverberatory furnaces. Cement manufacturing is a very common example of pyroprocessing. The raw material mix is fed to a kiln where pyroprocessing takes place. As with most industries ...
As the fuel of a LFTR is a molten salt mixture, it is attractive to use pyroprocessing, high temperature methods working directly with the hot molten salt. Pyroprocessing does not use radiation sensitive solvents and is not easily disturbed by decay heat. It can be used on highly radioactive fuel directly from the reactor. [31]
Structure of uranyl nitrate complex that is extracted in PUREX. [9]The fuel is first dissolved in nitric acid at a concentration around 7 M.Solids are removed by filtration to avoid the formation of emulsions, referred to as third phases in the solvent extraction community.
For example, the Integral Fast Reactor and Molten Salt Reactor fuel cycles are based on on-site pyroprocessing. It can separate many or even all actinides at once and produce highly radioactive fuel which is harder to manipulate for theft or making nuclear weapons. (However, the difficulty has been questioned. [46])
A rotary kiln is a pyroprocessing device used to raise materials to a high temperature (calcination) in a continuous process. Materials produced using rotary kilns include: Cement; Lime; Refractories; Metakaolin; Titanium dioxide; Alumina; Vermiculite; Iron ore pellets
Federal prosecutors accused top real estate agents Tal and Oren Alexander and their brother, Alon, of drugging and raping “dozens of victims” over more than a decade.. The brothers were ...
Cancer is typically treated with surgery, radiation and sometimes chemotherapy. But a new study suggests this standard protocol might not be necessary for a common form of early-stage breast cancer.
After dedicating his life to fighting the regime of Assad, Mazen Al-Hamada did not live to see it fall. A symbol of resilience and courage, the famous Syrian activist was found dead in the ...
