  • Patent number: 12131833
    Abstract: A device for treating uranium tailings with microorganism is provided and includes a treatment container, a spray water distribution assembly, a microbial incubator and a first pump. The water is transported from the microbial incubator to the spray water distribution assembly through the first pump, allowing the microorganisms to enter the interior of the uranium tailings in the treatment container. After treatment is completed, the water is collected by the water collection cylinder and sent back to the microbial incubator for recovery, so as to reduce the waste of microorganisms. The even distribution of horizontal spray pipes can evenly spray water containing microorganisms on the uranium tailings in the treatment container, which makes the distribution of microorganisms in the uranium tailings more uniform and can prevent inadequate treatment and improve the treatment efficiency of microorganisms on uranium tailings.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 27, 2024
    Date of Patent: October 29, 2024

  • Publication number: 20240170173
    Abstract: A method for stabilizing a neutralization slag of uranium associated zirconium and zirconia, and a stabilization agent used therein are disclosed. The stabilization agent includes the following components in parts by weight: a pretreatment agent of 2-8 parts, anhydrous calcium chloride of 2-6 parts, an adsorbent of 3-5 parts and a stabilizer of 4-9 parts. The stabilization agent is used to stabilize the uranium that is existed in the neutralization slag in a waste slag. The method includes the following steps: the pretreatment agent is used to alkalize and disperse the neutralization slag; soluble calcium salt is added to cement the neutralization slag; and the adsorbent and the stabilizer are used as a composite material to passivate the neutralization slag. The method has low cost, fast effectiveness, simple process, easy operation, and long-term stable remediation efficiency, which can be applied to the treatment and disposal of associated radioactive waste residues.
