Industrial-Scale Processes for Stabilizing Radioactively Contaminated Mercury Wastes.

DE2004827608

Publication Date	2003
Personal Author	Broderick, T. E.; Grondin, R.
Page Count	12
Abstract	This paper describes two industrial-scaled processes now being used to treat two problematic mercury waste categories: elemental mercury contaminated with radionuclides and radioactive solid wastes containing greater than 260-ppm mercury. The stabilization processes were developed by ADA Technologies, Inc., an environmental control and process development company in Littleton, Colorado. Perma-Fix Environmental Services has licensed the liquid elemental mercury stabilization process to treat radioactive mercury from Los Alamos National Laboratory and other DOE sites. ADA and Perma-Fix also cooperated to apply the >260-ppm mercury treatment technology to a storm sewer sediment waste collected from the Y-12 complex in Oak Ridge, TN.
Keywords	Radioactive wastes Mercury Stabilization Radionuclides Solid wastes Radioactive waste management Radioactive waste processing
