Laboratory Testing of Chemical Stabilizers for Control of Fugitive Dust Emissions from Uranium Mill Tailings
Pacific Northwest Laboratory, under contract to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research, is investigating techniques to control fugitive dust emissions from active uranium mill tailings piles. This report describes laboratory tests conducted to evaluate 45 commercially available chemical stabilizers. Tests were conducted in a wind tunnel to evaluate the effectiveness and durability of the stabilizers under similar conditions. The effects of application rate, temperature (freeze/thaw) cycling, wet/dry cycling, and wind speed were determined. In addition, tests were conducted to determine the effects of ultraviolet light and water erosion on the durability of the stabilizers. Permeability tests were also conducted to determine the potential effect of each stabilizer on the overall stability of the tailings pile. Results of these laboratory tests indicated that 16 of the stabilizers were equally effective and more durable than the others.
