| Abstract: | Laboratory
experiments on the sand samples separated from sludge have been carried out to
study their uncertainty associated with dose response and calibration. The
uniformity of absorbed dose in a batch of sludge in a large-scale liquid sludge
gamma irradiator has been examined by using sand samples separated from sludge
as an in-situ dosimeter. Statistical
analysis of the data, by applying ANOVA test, has been used to evaluate
uniformity of dose. The re-circulation time for irradiation of sewage sludge to
a dose of 3 kGy for its disinfection has been optimized using the data
obtained. |
