The near zero liquid discharge (NZLD) approach, by recovering water and dissolved valuable salts, is the most attractive clean solution for valorisation of brines from seawater desalination reverse osmosis (SWD-RO) plants. In this perspective, a key aspect calcium removal/recovery, to avoid scaling problems in successive advanced separation units other salts. work sodium citrate (Na3C6H5O7), carbonate (Na2CO3) hydrogencarbonate (NaHCO3) were tested as precipitation reagents. Different pH,...

The formation of uranyl-peroxide complexes was studied at alkaline media by using UV-Visible spectrophotometry and the STAR code. Two different were found a H2O2/U(VI) ratio lower than 2. A graphical method used in order to obtain constants such program refine values because its capacity treat multiwavelength absorbance data refining equilibrium constants. obtained for two identified were: UO22+ + H2O2 4OH− ⇆ UO2(O2)(OH)22− 2H2O: log β°1,1,4 = 28.1 ± 0.1 (1)UO22+ 2H2O2 6OH− UO2(O2)2(OH)24−...

TRLFS has been used to study the U VI O 2 2+ -PO 4 3- system, in 1 5 pH range, for [PO ] = × 10 -3 1.02 -1 M range and [UO 1.2 -5 M. The data acquisition procedure was based on four different sets of parameters, which were chosen order maximize fluorescence signal time domains. fitting simulate corresponding decays curves crosscheck results inter-comparison between solutions concentrations. Five lifetimes τ evidenced associated with five uranyl species (UO (H PO ) , UO H + HPO - ). results,...

Abstract The dissolution of non irradiated UO 2 was studied in the presence hydrogen peroxide (10 −4 mol dm −3 ) at alkaline pH (11, 11.5, 12, and 13). Both uranium concentration solution were determined as a function time. H O consumption modelled considering pseudo first order reaction, rate constants obtained 0.126±0.004 h −1 , 0.126±0.003 0.078±0.002 0.056±0.002 11, 13, respectively. concentrations measured end experiments close to solubility sodium uranate (Na U 7 ). X-ray photoelectron...
