The patent application (Publication Number: US20240034646A1) describes a UV reaction apparatus designed for treating waste liquid resulting from system decontamination in a nuclear power plant. The apparatus includes a UV irradiation unit that emits UV light in a bar-shaped form and a transit unit that allows organic waste liquid to be exposed to the UV light. The transit unit consists of an input unit, a discharge unit, and an intermediate unit coiled around the outer surface of the UV irradiation unit, ensuring prolonged exposure of the waste liquid to the UV light.
Furthermore, the patent application details the configuration of the transit unit, emphasizing the importance of the length of the intermediate unit in extending the exposure time of the organic waste liquid to the UV light. Additionally, the apparatus includes multiple UV irradiation units arranged adjacent to each other within the transit unit, along with partition wall units that facilitate the stagnation of the waste liquid to enhance UV exposure. The invention also incorporates a buffer tank for circulating the treated waste liquid back into the transit unit to increase UV light exposure frequency, with an analysis unit monitoring the total organic carbon (TOC) levels until reaching a predetermined value. The analysis unit is strategically positioned at both the input and discharge ends of the transit unit for comprehensive analysis throughout the treatment process.
