Decontamination of Radioactive Waste Air. I.
Abstract
Contaminated waste air has been treated with a baffle-plate scrubbing tower with 42 plates in three stages. The air was sampled for activity before and after each stage and the effect of several process variables investigated. With only six plates per stage in use the efficiency for plain cold water washing was 99.6 percent or better, and was 99.92 percent for the cloud chamber mode of operation. Some data on particle size and preliminary engineering figures are given.
