Abstract
The multiphase nature of slurries can make them difficult to process and monitor in real time. For example, the nuclear waste slurries present at the Hanford site in Washington State are multicomponent, multiphase, and inhomogeneous. Current analytical techniques for analyzing radioactive waste at Hanford rely on laboratory results from an on-site analytical laboratory, which can delay processing speed and create exposure risks for workers. However, in-line probes can provide an alternative route to collect the necessary composition information. In the present work, Raman spectroscopy and attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy are tested on simulants of nuclear waste slurries containing up to 23.2 wt % solids. We observe ATR-FTIR spectroscopy to be effective in measuring the solution phase of the studied slurry systems (3.52% mean percent error), while Raman spectroscopy provides information about the suspended solids in the slurry system (18.21% mean percent error). In-line measurement of multicomponent solids typical of nuclear waste processing has been previously unreported. The composition of both the solution and solid phases is vital in ensuring stable glass formulation and effective disposal of nuclear waste at Hanford. Raman and ATR-FTIR spectroscopies can provide a safer and faster alternative for acquiring compositional information on nuclear waste slurries.
