Abstract:
Radioactive waste resin treatment is a key challenge in radioactive waste management, which still lacks effective solutions.Traditional methods such as cement solidification, hot super-compaction, and incineration exhibit significant limitations.Supercritical water oxidation (SCWO) is noteworthy for its swift organic treatment and volume reduction.This review states the fundamental characteristics of supercritical water and provides a comprehensive overview of the research progress on reaction conditions such as temperature, pressure, oxidant coefficient, residence time, and material concentration on the removal efficiency of organic compounds from radioactive waste resins.Additionally, the advantages and disadvantages of this technology are analyzed.Finally, from a practical application perspective, challenges that SCWO technology still faces in the treatment of radioactive waste resins are discussed, which can provide references and guidance for the industrial application of SCWO in treating radioactive wastes.
