ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides drying and pulverization of a radioactive liquid waste containing sodium borate as a main component by heating, where the liquid waste is heated, dried and pulverized to substantially crystalline, homogeneous powder of sodium borate while suppressing occurrence of a foaming phenomenon of the powder. The susbtantially crystalline powder is obtained by heating, drying and pulverizing the liquid waste at a temperature outside the temperature range where the salt powder takes an amorphous state in the course of releasing water of crystallization from the salt powder. In the drying and pulverization of a liquid waste containing sodium borate by a thin film evaporator, occurrence of the foaming phenomenon can be suppressed by maintaining the temperature on the heat transfer surface of the evaporator at a temperature lower than 150.degree. C.
