PREPARATION
SUMMARY
Waste Processing Technology personnel routinely prepare 0.5 to 10 L batches of salt
solutions simulating Savannah River Site (SRS) soluble waste. This report describes the
The simulant compositions vary by waste type (e.g., average, high hydroxide, and high
nitrate) and by total sodium ion concentration (typically 3 to 7 molar Na+). The waste
types represent the average and extreme compositions expected in the feed stream sent to
the salt decontamination process.- As such, they do not represent the extremes in
composition of liquid waste currently in the SRS tank farms. Some blendlng is expected
prior to transfer to the salt decontamination process. The two extreme compositions are
called high hydroxide and high nitrate solutions. The high hydroxide solution
represents tank supemate and the high nitrate solution represents dissolved saft cake. The
average solution represents a blend of all soluble waste in the tank farm. For any of the
three waste compositions (i.e., anion distribution), the total sodium ion concenmation can
be varied up to 7 molar. The nominal sodium ion concentration is 5.6 molar for the feed
to the ion exchange option for salt disposition.
Table I lists the concentrations of 15 major components in the three waste types.
Numerous minor components, particularly hazardous metals such as chromium, are not
routinely included in simuknrts.
Appendix A lists the amounts and identities of chemicals used to prepare 1-L batches of
each waste type at 5.6 M Na+. Small batches of simulants are prepared from reagent or
similar purity chemicals.
When high purity chemicals are used in the preparation, typically less than 0.5 grams of
solids fail to dissolve per liter of solution. Larger amounts of insoluble solids could be
obtained if lower purity chemicals are used in the preparation. For most applications, the
solutions are filtered if solids remain after final dilution. The solutions should be cooled
to room temperature and aged for at least 24 hours before filtering.
Aluminum nitrate [Al(N0,),-9~0] is the usual source of aluminate ion. Use of
aluminum nitrate requires addition of extra sodium hydroxide and less sodium nitrate
based on the following stoichiometry.
Al(NO,), + 4 NaOH = NaAIO1 + 3 NaNO, + 2~0

Aluminum nitrate yields an acidic solution in water and can react with sodium nitrite to
form NO, gas. Thus, the preferred order of addition is to dissolve sodium hydroxide first,
followed by aluminum nitrate. Sodium nitrite is added only after the aluminum nitrate is
completely dissolved in excess sodium hydroxide.

Instructions
Appendix B
for Preparation of Salt Solution
Note: The instructions are accompanied by a data sheet listing the chemicals required
with spaces for the exact amounts used. Spaces are also provided for other quality
assurance information (i.e., operator name, date, balance identification, manufacturers
and lot numbers for each chemical).
1. Locate and label a clean, dry, 1-L volumetric flask. Weigh it empty and dry.
2. Weigh
Caution:
Dissolving NaOH will heat the solution. If the solution becomes too
hot to handle safely, cool it before proceeding.
Note: If the solution is not prepared in a volumetric flask (e.g., if the water is
added by weight rather than by filling to the line on the flask), keep the
container closed as much as possible when the solution is hot to
