Section: claims

1. A process for treatment of waste liquid material including dissolved radioactive substances, comprising: heating the waste liquid material to vaporize the liquid and to deposit said radioactive substances on a heat transfer surface;  wiping the radioactive substances deposited on the heat transfer surface to form a dry powder by rotary wiping blades;  measuring the flow rate (W) of the entering waste liquid material and the concentration (C) of the radioactive substances to be powdered in the waste liquid material, thus determining the quantity of the radioactive substances to be powdered by the product of (W.times.C); and  controlling the rotational speed of the wiping blade in accordance with the quantity of the radioactive substances to be powdered. 2. A process according to claim 1, wherein the rotational speed is controlled at a minimum speed necessary for powderizing the radioactive substances to be treated. 3. A process according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the rotational speed changes in proportion to the rate of change in the maximum quantity of radioactive substances to be powdered. 4. A process according to claim 3, wherein evaporation of the liquid and depositing of the radioactive substances on a heat transfer surface changes from a point where the maximum quantity of the radioactive substances to be powderized increases effectively with the increase of the wiping speed to a point where the maximum quantity of the radioactive substances to be powderized increases at a negligible rate with the increase of the wiping speed. 5. A process according to claim 4, further comprising steps of detecting a quantity of the waste liquid material to be treated and detecting a concentration of the radioactive substances in the waste liquid material. 6. A process according to claim 5, further comprising a step of calculating the maximum quantity of radioactive substances to be treated by an equation of thermal balance of heat energy required to vaporize water content in the waste liquid material and heat energy supplied for heating. 7. A process according to claim 3, further comprising steps of detecting a quantity of the waste liquid material to be treated and detecting a concentration of the radioactive substances in the waste liquid material. 8. A process according to claim 7, further comprising a step of calculating the maximum quantity of radioactive substances to be treated by an equation of thermal balance of heat energy required to vaporize water content in the waste liquid material and heat energy supplied for heating. 9. A process according to claim 1, wherein the wiping speed is kept constant and the flow rate of the waste liquid material and the concentration of the radioactive substances to be powderized in the waste liquid material are controlled to obtain an optimum operation condition. 10. A process according to claim 9, further comprising steps of detecting a quantity of the waste liquid material to be treated and detecting a concentration of the radioactive substances in the waste liquid material. 11. A system for treatment of waste liquid material including dissolved radioactive substances comprising a film evaporator having a cylindrical vessel with an inlet and outlet for the waste liquid material heating means for heating the waste liquid material in said vessel through a cylindrical heat transfer surface of said vessel to vaporize the liquid and to deposit said radioactive substances on the heat transfer surface, wiping means for wiping said heat transfer surface to remove the radioactive substances depositing thereon to obtain dry powder of the radioactive substances, measuring means for measuring the flow rate (W) of the entering waste liquid material and the concentration (C) of the radioactive substances to be powdered in the waste liquid material and determining the quantity of the radioactive substances to be powdered by the product of (W.times.C); and control means for controlling the wiping speed of said wiping means in accordance with the quantity of the radioactive substances to be powdered. 12. A system according to claim 11, further comprising detecting means for the quantity of the radioactive substances.
