Abstract: The conditions of wet oxidation using hydrogen peroxide for nuclear grade IRN78 anion exchange resin were investigated. The pH of anion exchange resin was adjusted with sulfuric acid, and the catalytic effects of Fe2+, Cu2+, and Fe2+/Cu2+ on the H2O2-anion exchange resin system were compared. The results showed that the mole ratio of 1∶2 for mixed catalysts of Fe2+/Cu2+ had an excellent catalytic effect, with the degradation rate of IRN78 anion exchange resin up to 99.7%, and the efficiency of hydrogen peroxide up to 92.7%. It indicated that IRN78 anion exchange resin could be degraded effectively by wet oxidation using hydrogen peroxide.

Key words: anion exchange resin, wet oxidation, mineralization, volume reduction
