Researchers at the Defense Waste Processing Facility (DWPF) locate at the Savannah River Site are evaluating the use of glycolic acid as a mercury reductant instead of formic acid during the processing of radioactive waste in the Chemical Processing Cell (CPC). Glycolic acid has been shown to possess improved handling and processing properties when compared to formic acid. An ion chromatography (IC) method was developed in support of projects supporting the glycolate alternative reductant flowsheet. This talk describes the development and application of the ion chromatography method.
