摘要

The treatment of radioactive graphite waste, especially due to 14C emissions, poses significant challenges. This review summarizes incineration-based volume reduction technologies and evaluates carbon isotopic separation methods. Fluidized-bed incineration offers high efficiency but requires effective control of 14C release. Among separation techniques, chemical exchange using CO2 is identified as the most practical. A three-stage treatment strategy is proposed: incineration, off-gas purification, and 14C separation. This integrated approach enables waste minimization, emission control, and potential 14C reuse, offering a feasible and sustainable solution for managing radioactive graphite waste.
