Abstract
Description
Verfahren zur Reinigung von metallischen Oberflächen, insbesondere radioaktiv verseuchten Oberflächen Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Reinigung von metallischen Oberflächen, insbesondere radioaktiv verseuchten metallischen Oberflächen, mittels eines feinkörnige Festkörper enthaltenden Förderstrahle.Process for cleaning metallic surfaces, in particular Radioactively contaminated surfaces The invention relates to a method for cleaning of metallic surfaces, especially radioactively contaminated metallic surfaces, by means of a conveyor jet containing fine-grained solids.
Das bekannte Sandstrahlverfahren zur Reinigung von metallischen Oberflächen, beispielsweise zur Beseitigung von Oxydschichten, von Walzhäuten oder von Sandrückständen an Gußteilen,'hat den Nachteil, daß dieses Verfahren nicht in geschlossenen Räumen angewendet werden kann, und daß nach der Reinigung erhebliche Mengen mit Abfall stoffen vermischten Sandes anfallen und entfernt oder aufbereitet werden müssen. Handelt es sich bei den zu reinigenden Oberflächen um radioaktiv verseuchte Oberflächen, beisRelsweise um die Reinigung eines Dampferzeugers aus einer Kernreaktoranlage, so ist die Beseitigung des mit Abfallstoffen vermischten Sandes mit einer Gefährdung des Personals durch Strahlenbelastung verbunden.The well-known sandblasting process for cleaning metallic surfaces, for example to remove oxide layers, rolled skins or sand residues on castings, 'has the disadvantage that this process cannot be used in closed rooms can be applied, and that after cleaning, significant amounts of waste material mixed sand accumulate and must be removed or processed. If the surfaces to be cleaned are radioactively contaminated surfaces, For example, the cleaning of a steam generator from a nuclear reactor plant, so the disposal of the sand mixed with waste materials is a hazard of the staff connected by radiation exposure.
Zur Vermeidung dieser Nachteile wird gemäß der Erfindung vorgeschlagen, Eisgranulate als feinkörnige Festkörper zu verwenden.To avoid these disadvantages, it is proposed according to the invention, To use ice granules as fine-grained solids.
Wegen der erforderlichen Härte des Granulates wird vorzugsweise Wasser in festem Aggregatzustand verwendet. Bei leicht löslichen, die Oberflächen verunreinigenden Niederschlägen ist jedoch auch die Verwendung von Kchlendioxyd in festem Aggregatzustand möglich.Because of the required hardness of the granulate, water is preferred used in solid aggregate state. For easily soluble ones that contaminate the surfaces Precipitation, however, is also the use of calcium dioxide in its solid state possible.
Durch die Verwendung von Eisgranulat ergibt sich eine wesentliche Vereinfachung in der Beseitigung der von den Oberflächen enternten Stoffe, da diese mit der durch das Auftauen des Eises anfallenden Flüssigkeit abgeführt werden können Außerdem tritt keine Verunreinigung eines Anlagenkreislaufes, beispielsweise bei einem Dampferzeuger, durch kreislauffremde Feststoffe ein, die Schaden anrichten könnten, auch wenn sie nur in geringen Mengen zurückbleiben. Ferner wird die Gefahr einer Strahlenbelastung des Personals bei einer Reinigung von radioaktiv verseuchten Oberflächen beseitigt oder zumindest erheblich vermindert. Die Verwendung von Trockeneis (wo2) bietet den Vorteil, daß dieses unmittelbar vom festen in den gasförmigen Aggregatzustand übergeht.The use of ice granulate results in an essential one Simplification in the elimination of the substances removed from the surfaces, since these can be removed with the liquid resulting from the thawing of the ice aside from that there is no contamination of a system circuit, for example in the case of a steam generator, from non-circulating solids that could cause damage, even if they do only remain in small quantities. Furthermore, there is a risk of radiation exposure of the personnel when cleaning radioactively contaminated surfaces or at least considerably reduced. The use of dry ice (wo2) provides the advantage that this changes directly from the solid to the gaseous state of aggregation transforms.
