Investigation of air cleaning processes for removing tributyl phosphate vapors from commercial fuel reprocessing off-gas streams. Project termination report
Solid sorbents were examined for removing TBP vapors from commercial nuclear fuel dissolver and vessel vent off-gas streams. The study identified one commercially available alumina catalyst which proved to be an effective, superior sorbent for TBP. Analytical and procedural methods were developed for handling and measuring low concentrations of TBP. Results of the experiments to demonstrate the protection of silver-impregnated mineral beds raised an important question, yet unanswered, regarding the necessity of removing TBP from process streams for some silver-impregnated beds to attain full stoichiometric removal of iodine.
