Abstract
Description
La présente invention est relative à un procédé pour le transport et/ou le stockage de déchets chimiques, radio-actifs ou autres.The present invention relates to a method for the transport and / or storage of chemical, radioactive or other waste.
Les problèmes en rapport avec le transport de déchets chimiques ou radioactifs sont complexes et rencontrent très souvent des problèmes faisant appel à des traitements extrêmement coûteux.The problems related to the transport of chemical or radioactive waste are complex and very often encounter problems requiring extremely expensive treatments.
Des règlements internationaux prévoient par conséquent des mesures pour le transport de tels déchets, tenant compte de possibles endommagements des récipients de transport, d'incendies etc.International regulations therefore provide for measures for the transport of such waste, taking into account possible damage to transport containers, fires, etc.
La présente invention propose une solution du problème extrêmement simple et peu coûteuse, tout en offrant une sécurité inconnue jusqu'à maintenant.The present invention provides an extremely simple and inexpensive solution to the problem, while providing security unknown until now.
Le procédé pour le transport et/ou le stockage de déchets en question prévoit à ces fins et selon l'invention que l'on prépare une émulsion à faible volume d'eau, fortement thixotropée, et que l'on ajoute à cette émulsion les déchets sous forme d'un effluent liquide, semi-liquide ou boueux.The process for the transport and / or storage of waste in question provides for these purposes and according to the invention that an emulsion with a small volume of water, highly thixotropic, is prepared and that the additives are added to this emulsion. waste in the form of a liquid, semi-liquid or muddy effluent.
De préférence l'émulsion utilisée contient en outre des additifs retardateurs de flamme et un catalyseur stable à froid mais actif à chaud.Preferably, the emulsion used also contains flame retardant additives and a catalyst which is stable in cold but active in hot.
Dans cette forme d'exécution, c'est-à-dire en utilisant tous ces additifs, l'émulsion peut être allongée par des déchets sous forme d'un effluent liquide, semi-liquide ou boueux provenant de travaux nucléaires, chimiques ou autres, autorisant alors leur transport et/ou stockage puisque:
- a) En cas de choc et de fissuration du récipient, le produit est un gel nécessitant agitation pour se fluidifier, donc ne coule pas.
- b) Les produits retardateurs de flamme, en cas d'incendie, n'autorisent pas la propagation rapide de la flamme.
- c) Si, par suite du feu, la température dépasse par exemple 60°C, l'émulsion se solidifiera et permettra un enlèvement plus rapide et plus mécanique des déchets.
- a) In case of shock and cracking of the container, the product is a gel requiring agitation to thin, therefore does not flow.
- b) Flame retardant products, in the event of fire, do not allow rapid flame spread.
- c) If, as a result of the fire, the temperature exceeds for example 60 ° C, the emulsion will solidify and allow faster and more mechanical removal of the waste.
Donc conforme aux règlements internationaux actuels, cette solution permet de transporter les déchets vers une usine indépendante, libérant, par example, les centrales nucléaires du problème du traitement des déchets.Therefore, in accordance with current international regulations, this solution makes it possible to transport waste to an independent factory, freeing, for example, nuclear power plants from the problem of waste treatment.
L'invention est décrite ci-après à l'aide d'un exemple de mise en oeuvre particulier:
- On prépare tout d'abord une émulsion du type décrit dans les brevets américains no. 4,115,336, 4,204,988 et australiens no. 513,486 et 515,778. Une telle émulsion contient une résine, plus particulièrement une résine polyester de préférence non-saturée et un monomère, de préférence non-saturé.
- First of all, an emulsion of the type described in American patents no. 4,115,336, 4,204,988 and Australian no. 513,486 and 515,778. Such an emulsion contains a resin, more particularly a polyester resin, preferably unsaturated, and a monomer, preferably unsaturated.
On réduit alors le pourcentage d'eau de l'émulsion à une valeur permettant l'addition des eaux ou effluents . liquides accompagnant les différentes formes de déchets.The percentage of water in the emulsion is then reduced to a value allowing the addition of water or effluents. liquids accompanying the different forms of waste.
L'émulsion sera de type auto-extinction maximum, par emploi de tous produits bromés, chlorés, phosphatés ou autres dès la fabrication de la résine de base.The emulsion will be of the maximum self-extinguishing type, by the use of all brominated, chlorinated, phosphated or other products from the manufacture of the base resin.
On ajoute à l'émulsion les additifs suivants:
- A) Un agent thixotropique compatible avec l'eau, type gel de silice, "Aerosil" de Degussa, "Homocal G 50" de Adriss, certains types d'acéto butyrates, etc.
- B) Des agents anti-feu type tri-hydrate d'alumine, dérivés phosphatés TCEP (Tri-chloro-éthyle-phosphate) ou dérivés du chlore (paraffines chlorées), dérivés du brome et, en particulier, décabromodiphénile oxide dosage maximum, etc.
- C) Des catalyseurs du marché, compatible aves les résins polyesters insaturées, stablesà froid, gamme ambiance de +15°C à +60°C et actif à partir de 60°C, tels que les perbenzoates de t-butyle ou le 1.1 bis (t-butyle peroxy) cycloxenane, etc.
- A) A thixotropic agent compatible with water, such as silica gel, "Aerosil" from Degussa, "Homocal G 50" from Adriss, certain types of aceto butyrates, etc.
- B) Alumina tri-hydrate type fire-fighting agents, TCEP phosphate derivatives (Tri-chloro-ethyl-phosphate) or chlorine derivatives (chlorinated paraffins), bromine derivatives and, in particular, decabromodiphenile oxide maximum dosage, etc. .
- C) Catalysts on the market, compatible with unsaturated polyester resins, cold stable, ambient range from + 15 ° C to + 60 ° C and active from 60 ° C, such as t-butyl perbenzoates or 1.1 bis (t-butyl peroxy) cycloxenane, etc.
Des déchets pouvant être ajoutés à l'emulsion sont par exemple les suivants:
- Des lits mélangés ou non de résines échangeuses d'ions avec leurs habituelles impuretés - bore, lithium, ammoniaque, graphite, fer, etc. - et de PH le plus généralement acide, mais dans certains cas, légèrement basique.
- Beds mixed or not of ion exchange resins with their usual impurities - boron, lithium, ammonia, graphite, iron, etc. - and more generally acidic PH, but in some cases, slightly basic.
Les concentrés le plus généralement avec fort pourcentage d'acide borique, neutralisés par NaOH jusqu'à des PH compris entre 7 et 9 suivant le contenu solide, avec produits secondaires tels que agents anti-moussants, détergents, acide oxalique, acide citrique, chromate de potasse, etc.Concentrates most generally with a high percentage of boric acid, neutralized by NaOH up to pH between 7 and 9 depending on the solid content, with secondary products such as anti-foaming agents, detergents, oxalic acid, citric acid, chromate potash, etc.
Des boues de décontamination, mélanges ou solutions basiques et acides, avec impuretés Lype chromates, borates, oxalates, graphite, fer, Mn02, etc.Decontamination sludge, basic and acidic mixtures or solutions, with L ype impurities chromates, borates, oxalates, graphite, iron, Mn02, etc.

Autres déchets d'ordre chimique.Other chemical wastes.
Après le transport, l'émulsion peut par exemple être mélangée avec du ciment pour former des blocs et pour être enrobée par exemple selon le procédé d'enrobage décrit dans le brevet suisse no........ (demande de brevet no. 2329/83, déposée le 29 avril 1983). Ce procédé consiste à réaliser un mélange comprenant des déchets .(par exemple des déchets radioactifs) en saturation dans leur eau de stockage, une résine et un monomère, pour former une émulsion avec les déchets, leur eau, la résine et le monomère et en ajoutant à cette émulsion un liant hydraulique pour réaliser un béton.After transport, the emulsion can for example be mixed with cement to form blocks and to be coated for example according to the coating process described in Swiss patent no ........ (patent application no 2329/83, filed April 29, 1983). This process consists in producing a mixture comprising waste (for example radioactive waste) in saturation in their storage water, a resin and a monomer, to form an emulsion with the waste, their water, the resin and the monomer and by adding to this emulsion a hydraulic binder to make a concrete.
