Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hot pressing arrangement which may be used for immobilisation of high level radioactive waste into synthetic rock but may also be used for other applications including the immobilisation of toxic chemical materials into synthetic rock. Furthermore the invention may have application in the formation of ceramics in which particulate precursor material is placed in a container which is subjected to heat and pressure to form a block of ceramic material. Numerous prior proposals exist particularly in the field of immobilisation of high level radioactive waste in synthetic rock materials. It is essential to achieve uniform and reliable densification of the synthetic rock precursor since otherwise the exceedingly high levels of leach resistance required for safe disposal of the material cannot be assured.
  • H.I.P. hot isostatic pressing
  • a compressible container is filled with particulate material to be hot pressed, the container is evacuated and sealed and then placed in a hot isostatic press.
  • This arrangement provides uniform pressure around the container so that uniform densification should be achieved.
  • this process particularly when applied to immobilisation of radioactive waste, imposes serious potential problems because of the need for operations in an active cell, the difficulty of providing reliable evacuation and sealing of the containers for the waste, and the high cost of active cell space for accommodating very bulky and complex apparatus, namely a hot isostatic press.
  • Such a press is massive and poses ultimate disposal problems when its working life is at a conclusion.
  • H.U.P. hot uniaxial pressing
  • the present inventor's prior patent specifications disclose the use of an off-gas system to collect gas discharged from such a bellows container as it is hot pressed and hot upward pressing processes have been preferred.
  • One such process includes the use of a metal cylindrical container into which a bellows canister is inserted in an upward direction by a hydraulic ram and hot uniaxial pressing takes place, whereby during the densification process the small degree of radially outward expansion of the canister causes it to become firmly jammed into the container.
  • a series of canisters are pressed one after the other into the container and the container then facilitates safe disposal.
  • an apparatus for hot uniaxial processing of capsules containing material to be densified comprising a cylindrical tubular body along the axis of which the capsules are arranged to move during progressive uniaxial compression, heating means for heating the capsules as they pass along the tubular body, the capsules being of predetermined diameter and predetermined radial expansion during hot uniaxial pressing, the tubular body having a bore which in an intermediate region increases in diameter along the tubular body to match the radial expansion of the capsules, whereby the capsules can be pressed along the bore while having restraint to any excess radial expansion, means for introducing capsules to be processed at an upstream end of the tubular body, means for discharging compressed capsules at a downstream end of the body and means for mounting the tubular body for co-operation with pressure application means, the pressure application means comprising an upstream pressure applicator having a pressure pad adapted to abut a trailing end of the capsule at the upstream end of the tube
  • the rate of increase in diameter along the tubular body may be constant or may vary.
  • the increase in bore diameter corresponds to an operating process having the following characteristics:
  • the upstream end portion of the tubular body is arranged to provide steady heating of the capsule but with little axial compression taking place and accordingly only a low rate of increase in bore diameter is provided. Furthermore, the end capsule (which is in contact with the upstream pressure pad while being pressed steadily in a downstream direction) should be under temperature conditions such that at most a minor degree of heating occurs and the capsule is kept at a relatively low temperature such that little or no radial expansion takes place and accordingly the bore in this region can be parallel.
  • the pressure pad is a clearance fit within the bore, a peripheral annular region on the trailing end face of the capsule will not be in contact with the pressure pad and, by adopting the preferred conditions, the risk of unacceptable deformation of the trailing end face of the capsule can be essentially avoided; in particular the risk of extrusion of the peripheral portion of the capsule around the edge of the pressure pad can be obviated.
  • the new capsule presses against the trailing end face of the previous capsule and it is fully supported and its temperature can be increased whereby small, ⁇ teady, radial expansion is possible.
  • Typical proportions for a tubular body will be that the initial heating zone of the body accommodates three capsules or more and only a minor portion of the downstream end of the heating zone provides temperatures where increased rate of radial expansion is experienced. In this zone a corresponding increase in bore diameter occurs.
  • the central region of the body provides an elongated zone of active compression and will typically be similar in length to the heating zone but due to substantial axial compression will accommodate more capsules. A small steady increase in bore diameter occurs.
  • the downstream end portion of the tubular body is a cooling zone in which the bore can be parallel and typically will hold at least twice the number of capsules as are accommodated in the heating zone.
  • the dimensions of the tubular bore at working temperature relative to the capsules are chosen such that the capsules are supported but in non-binding engagement. A small clearance is provided.
  • the surface of the capsule will be somewhat irregular although the bore of the tubular body can be an accurate cylinder. Thus, typically intermittent point-to-point contact will occur between the periphery of a capsule and the interior of the bore. Providing that the degree of restraint at any contact between the capsule and the bore is less than the force required for shear of the metal in which the capsule is made, constraint can be provided. With advantage the surface of the bore could be a ceramic thereby facilitating restraint of the capsule by the bore without adverse effects on the metal forming the capsule.
  • the apparatus includes a computer control system including sensors and a microprocessor for controlling the pressure applied to the respective pressure application means so that the capsules move downstream at a selected rate.
  • control system which monitors the pressures and detects the movement rate of the capsules and ⁇ adjustment is made to the respective pressures to speed up the movement of the capsules along the bore if the measurements are consistent with build-up of frictional engagement between one or more capsules and the wall of the bore.
  • an inherent and significant advantage of embodiments of the present invention is that the pressure pads associated with the upstream and downstream pressure application means are not in contact with capsules undergoing high temperature compression but instead are respectively in contact with much lower temperature capsules at the beginning of the preheating phase and at the end of the cool-down phase.
  • the invention is especially advantageous when arranged in the form of a horizontally disposed tubular body.
  • the pressure application means comprise hydraulic rams which are located outside an active cell and which apply their forces through operating rods passing through its respective sealed bearings through the active cell wall.
  • tubular body is arranged horizontally, it can include mounting units in the intermediate portion of the tubular body and having connectors in the base to couple through the floor of the active cell to control equipment and a power supply for operating the heating means.
  • the pressure pad associated with the upstream pressure means can include a central recess having means for coupling with a central tubular neck extending from the end of the capsule, the capsule having a ceramic filter for preventing the egress of particulate material as gaseous material is pressed out during densification.
  • the volatile components are driven off during the preheating phase and the remaining gas in the capsule can be safely discharged into an off-gas plant in the active cell during densification.
  • the tubular body is formed of a multiplicity of rigid interconnected sections.
  • the sections can be interconnected in a male to female connection and in a preferred embodiment the tubular body is of a high strength, thermally shock resistant ceramic material such as silicon nitride, silicon carbide or silicon carbide reinforced with silicon carbide whiskers.
  • the tubular body is formed with a spirally wound heating element for example of silicon carbide and it is preferred to surround the tube with a low mass - low thermal conductivity ceramic fibre insulation with a containment shell around the insulation to provide a composite structure which can be handled as a unit. This is most advantageous for applications to the densification of radioactive waste, since modules can be moved around within an active cell, and when a module requires replacement it can be lifted off its mounts, cut up for disposal and a replacement module placed in position.

Abstract

La compression uniaxiale à chaud de capsules contenant des matières particulaires est effectuée dans un appareil (13) de compression à chaud en continu comportant un tube (31) de compactage rigide le long duquel des capsules descendent en série, leur mouvement étant commandé par des pilons hydrauliques en amont et en aval, (3) et (33), qui servent aussi à appliquer une pression uniaxiale. Des moyens de chauffage sont fournis à l'intention du tube, lequel présente séquentiellement des zones de préchauffage, de compactage de capsules et de refroidissement de capsules, la région intermédiaire du tube présentant une augmentation progressive de chambre interne qui correspond sensiblement à la dilatation radiale des capsules au cours du processus où les capsules peuvent être pressées le long de la paroi alors que toute dilatation radiale excessive est réprimée. Des ouvertures d'entrée et de sortie de capsules, (46) et (47), sont ménagées aux extrémités supérieure et inférieure du tube de compactage. L'appareil est conçu pour être monté dans une cellule active où il peut être utilisé pour l'immobilisation de déchets hautement radioactifs dans de la roche synthétique, bien qu'il soit également utile à la fabrication de blocs céramiques fabriqués à partir de matières précurseurs particulaires qui sont placées dans une capsule pour le procédé.
