| Description | Tests treating soils contaminated with metal compounds and radionuclide surrogates were conducted in a DC arc melter. The soil melted, and glassy or ceramic waste forms with a separate metal phase were produced. Tests were run in the melter plenum with either air or $N_{2}$ purge gases. In addition to nitrogen, the primary emissions of gases were $CO_{2}$ , CO, oxygen, methane, and oxides of nitrogen $(NO_{x}$ ). Although the gas flow through the melter was low, the particulate concentrations ranged from 32 to 145 $g/m^{3}$. Cerium, a nonradioactive surrogate for plutonium and uranium, was not enriched in the particulate matter (PM). The PM was enriched in cesium and highly enriched in lead. |
