Modular intensified ion exchange utilising agitated tubular reactors

University of Leeds

About the Project

As the UK prepares to invest in new nuclear power plants, industry and research organisations are also looking towards developing the next generation of effluent and waste treatment processes. Ongoing decontamination of process liquids and cooling ponds is common to almost all current and future nuclear power plants. However, the main method used to remove radioisotopes and other heavy metals – ion exchange – has not operationally changed in many decades. This project seeks to develop new technologies that lead to step-change increases in ion exchange efficiency for modern, modular treatment units. SATURN_Nuclear_CDT
