A Method and Device for solidification of waste liquids and fluids is
disclosed. The invention is particularly well suited to processing
radioactive waste fluids; and employs a metered polymer supply assembly
and metered waste supply assembly, which have a prescribed positional
orientation in relation to themselves and a container. These assemblies
operate in relation to each other to meter, mix and position a
solidification agent or polymer with a waste fluid so that a dirt-like
polymerized waste product is produced and positioned in the container for
safe shipment or storage. The waste supply assembly in a preferred
embodiment is provided with a novel waste trough. Prescribed mathematical
relationships for determining the trough length, and the cross-sectional
dimensional relationship of the polymer chute of the invention in
relation to the cross-sectional dimensional magnitude of the waste trough
is set forth.
