Optimizing low-level-radioactive (LLW) resin solidification using Taguchi methods revealed furnace slag and fly ash as key components. The best mix for Taiwan Power Company (TPC) requirements included 24% furnace slag, 24% fly ash, and 8% cement.

Area of Science:

  • Waste Management
  • Materials Science
  • Chemical Engineering

Background:

  • Low-level-radioactive (LLW) resin requires effective solidification for safe disposal.
  • Traditional methods may not meet stringent regulatory standards for radioactive waste containment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To optimize the solidification of LLW resin using Taguchi analytical methodology.
  • To identify the optimal ingredient concentrations for LLW mortar that meet Taiwan Power Company (TPC) criteria.

Main Methods:

  • Application of Taguchi analytical methodology for experimental design.
  • Systematic variation of ingredient concentrations in LLW mortar.
  • Measurement of compressive and bending strength at 7, 21, and 28 days post-fabrication.

Main Results:

  • Furnace slag and fly ash were identified as dominant materials influencing LLW mortar solidification.
  • The optimal mixture composition was determined to be 24 wt.% furnace slag, 24 wt.% fly ash, and 8 wt.% cement.
  • This optimal mix, combined with 24 wt.% resin and 20 wt.% water, satisfied TPC requirements.

Conclusions:

  • Taguchi methodology effectively optimized LLW resin solidification.
  • The identified optimal mixture provides a robust solution for LLW waste management, meeting regulatory strength standards.
  • Furnace slag and fly ash are crucial for achieving desired solidification properties in LLW mortar.
