Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of treating a surface with a gel, as well as to a treatment gel that can be used in such a process.
  • the treatment may be for example a decontamination treatment, for example radioactive or organic, a pickling treatment or a degreasing treatment of a surface.
  • the gels of the prior art do not dry or in several tens of hours and must all be removed after a few hours by rinsing with water.
  • the rinsing also makes it possible to interrupt the action of the gel on the wall and to control the duration of action of the gel.
  • Rinsing has the disadvantage of generating liquid effluents of the order of 10 L of water per kg of gel used. These decontamination effluents in the case of radioactive decontamination are treated in existing nuclear material treatment facilities. This requires in-depth studies on the management of these effluents and their impact vis-à-vis the facilities treatment circuits. In addition such gels that must be rinsed can not be used to treat installation surfaces that must not be flooded.
  • the present invention is specifically intended to provide a method of treating a surface with a gel, and a treatment gel for use in such a process, which overcomes the aforementioned drawbacks of the prior art.
  • the gel dries by fracturing.
  • concentrations are expressed in moles per liter of gel in the present text.
  • the gel drying temperature in the treatment process is between 20 and 30 ° C, and the relative humidity between 20% and 70%.

  • the precipitated silica may be obtained, for example, by mixing a solution of sodium silicate and an acid.
  • the preferred precipitated silicas are marketed by DEGUSSA under the name SIPERNAT 22 LS and FK 310 (trademarks).
  • the viscosifying agent of the gel of the present invention is therefore a mixture of the two types of silicas mentioned above, pyrogenated and precipitated.
  • the mixture of the silicas is preferably at a concentration of 5 to 10% by weight of the gel to ensure drying of the gel at a temperature of between 20 ° C. and 30 ° C. and relative humidity of between 20 and 70% on average at 2 ° to 5 hours. Indeed, such a mixture unexpectedly influences the drying of the gel and the particle size of the residue obtained.
  • the dry gel is in the form of particles of controlled size ranging from 0.1 to 2 mm thanks in particular to the aforementioned compositions of the present invention.
  • a precipitated silica for example FK 310 (trademarks)

  • the base is advantageously present at a concentration of less than 2 mol / l, preferably between 0.5 and 2 mol / l, more preferably between 1 and 2 mol / l to ensure drying of the gel at a temperature of between 20 ° C. and 30 ° C and relative humidity between 20 and 70% on average in 2 to 5 hours
  • the gel of the invention may contain an oxidizing agent, for example at a concentration of 0.5 to 1 mol / l, which has a normal oxidation-reduction potential greater than 1400 mV in a strong acid medium, that is to say, an oxidizing power greater than that of permanganate.
  • an oxidizing agent for example, such oxidizing agents may be Ce (IV) Co (III) and Ag (II).
  • the oxidizing agents are generally associated with a mineral acid, such as nitric acid at a moderate concentration of less than 2 mol / l, and allowing rapid drying of the gel.
  • Cerium is generally introduced in the form of electrogenerated cerium (IV) nitrate Ce (NO 3 ) 4 or hexanitrate cerium (NH 4 ) 2 Ce (NO 3 ) 5 .

  • the gels according to the invention comprise a mixture of viscosifying agents and an active decontamination agent at the above concentrations, the drying of the gel leads to a dry residue having an ability to easily detach from the support. Thus, no rinsing with water is necessary and the process thus generates no secondary effluent.
  • the gels of the present invention can be generally described as colloidal solutions comprising a mixture of silicas and an active treatment agent, for example an acid, a base, an oxidizing agent, a reducing agent or a mixture thereof, which is chosen in particular according to the nature of the treatment and the surface to be treated.
  • an active treatment agent for example an acid, a base, an oxidizing agent, a reducing agent or a mixture thereof, which is chosen in particular according to the nature of the treatment and the surface to be treated.
  • an alkaline gel having degreasing properties can be used.
  • the removal of a hot and cold-fixed contamination on a stainless steel surface can be done by means of an oxidizing gel.
  • the dissolution of oxide layers can be done by means of a reducing gel which will preferably be used in addition to the oxidizing gel and alternately.
  • a cold-fixed contamination on a ferritic steel can be removed for example by means of an acid gel.
  • the gel may be applied to the surface to be treated by conventional methods such as spraying with a spray gun or with a brush, for example a brush to be decontaminated.
  • the viscous colloidal solution may for example be conveyed via a low pressure pump ( ⁇ 7 bars) and the bursting of the gel jet on the surface may be obtained with a flat or round nozzle.
  • the sufficiently short viscosity recovery time allows the sprayed gel to adhere to the wall.

  • the dry residue obtained after drying can be easily removed, for example by brushing and / or suction, but also by gas jet, for example compressed air.
  • the treatment of the surface can be renewed each time with the same gel or with gels of different nature during the different successive stages, each of these steps including the application of the gel, the maintenance of the gel on the surface during the treatment of the surface and its drying, as well as the removal of the dry residue obtained.
  • the present invention is generally applicable to the treatment, for example of decontamination, of metal surfaces, important or not, which are not necessarily horizontal, but which can be inclined or even vertical.
  • Treatment means any surface treatment for cleaning, decontaminate or etch said surface. It may be for example a radioactive or organic decontamination treatment (eg removal of microorganisms, parasites etc ...), a pickling treatment for removing oxides or a degreasing treatment of a surface.
