Abstract

파이로 공정은 고속로와의 연계성과 핵확산 저항성 등의 장점으로 최근 사용후핵연료 관리 이슈 해결과 유용자원 재활용 제고의 목적으로 개발되고 있다. 파이로 공정은 전체적으로 습식과정을 배제하고 고온에서 진행되는 건식 기술들에 바탕을 두고 있다. 전기화학적 이론에 기초한 파이로 공정은 전처리 공정이 필요하며 고온 휘발산화 공정이 전해환원 공정의 전처리 공정으로 개발되고 있다. 다양한 기체 조건들이 고온 휘발산화 공정에 적용가능하며 이 과정에서 Cs의 거동의 이해는 전체 파이로 공정에서 폐기물 특성과 열부하 해석을 위해 중요한 요소이다. 본 연구에서는 Cs-Te-O 시스템에 대해 반응 평형을 기준으로 기체-고체 반응 거동을 해석함으로서 기체조건에 따른 화학성분들의 변화를 계산하였다. Cs2TeO3와 Cs2TeO4에 대해 Tpp 도표를 통해 화합물을 선정하였으며 산화분위기에서는 상대적으로 안정적임을 확인하였으며 고온 환원 분위기에서는 Cs와 Te가 모두 휘발 제거될 수 있음을 보였다. 본 연구는 파이로 공정의 첫 화학적 분배가 발생되는 휘발산화 공정에서 Cs 거동을 예측할 수 있는 기초 자료를 제공하였으며 전체 공정의 물질수지 등에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
Pyroprocessing has been developed for the purpose of resolving the current spent nuclear fuel management issue and enhancing the recycle of valuable resources. Pyroprocessing has been developed with the dry technologies which are performed under high temperature conditions excluding any aqueous processes. Pyro-processes which are based on the electrochemical principles require pretreatment processes and a voloxidation process is considered as a_x000D_ pretreatment step for an electrolytic reduction process. Various kinds of gas conditions are applicable to the voloxidation process and the understanding of Cs behavior during the process is of importance for the analyses of waste characteristics and heat load on the overall pyroprocessing. In this study, the changes of chemical compounds with the gas conditions_x000D_ were calculated by analyzing gas-solid reaction behavior based on the chemical equilibria on a Cs-Te-O system. Cs2TeO3 and Cs2TeO4 were selected after a Tpp diagram analysis and it was confirmed that they are relatively stable under oxidizing atmospheres while it was shown that Cs and Te would be removed by volatilization under reducing atmosphere at a high temperature. This work provided basic data for predicting Cs behavior during the voloxidation process at which compounds are chemically distributed as the first stage in the pyroprocessing and it is expected that the results would be used for setting up material balances and related purposes.
