This project designed and created a large-scale pyrolysis incineration system that decomposes waste tributyl phosphate/kerosene (TBP/OK) solvent from the plutonium/uranium process (PU-REX) in the nuclear industry. This system consists of a suspension preparation system (SPS), a pyrolysis and ash discharge system (PADS), and a combustion furnace and gas treatment system (CGS). The preparation of a waste TBP/OK emulsified suspension in the SPS, continuous operation experiments of the PADS and CGS, and pyrolysis incineration experiments were conducted. The results show that the SPS achieved the automatic preparation and feeding of emulsified suspensions at 30 kg/h. The PADS decomposed 99.99% of the TBP/OK emulsified suspensions and fixed more than 99% of phosphorus. The CGS burned the pyrolysis gas without diesel oil and purified more than 99.995% of the radioactive nuclides. This system showed great feasibility, stability, continuity, and safety, proving the compatibility between multiple systems of this new design. This paper marks a significant step in pyrolysis incineration technology for the nuclear industry.
