| Abstract | Separation of hydrated cement paste from aggregate is a key technology to reduce the amount of radioactive concrete waste during the decommissioning process. If separated cement-paste portions can be recycled as a solidifying agent for other radioactive waste, the amount of radioactive concrete waste could be close to "zero". A study was conducted to achieve circular economy in the area of concrete decommissioning and found it to be successfully used as a solidifying agent for immobilization of liquid radioactive waste. However, previous work used a process that requires large amounts of energy (heat treatment was applied to most of the concrete fraction) because the objective was to completely remove hydrated cement powder from the aggregate. In this work, the separation system was modified to increase energy efficiency (heat treatment was applied to separated powder only), but such a change decreased the surface area of the recycled cement powder due to a higher inclusion of aggregate powder. A relatively lower solution to binder ratio could have been achieved for the preparation of wasteform specimens, and as a result, a 28 day compressive strength of wasteform could have become higher, but the final leachability indices were lower than the results observed from previous work. The results from 28 day compressive strength, thermal cycling and 90 day leaching experiments met the acceptance criteria for wasteform, indicating that this modified system can also be used for immobilization of liquid radioactive waste to meet the "zero" production of concrete waste during the decommissioning of a nuclear power plant. It should be noted that accurate monitoring of aggregate content in recycled cement powder during production is important to maintain proper reactivity of recycled cement powder. |
