| 摘要 |
The invention relates to a method for regenerating liquids contaminated with radioactive substances, such as decontamination agents, which produces negligible quantities of secondary waste. According to said method, the starting acid, which can contain any concentration and almost any composition of dissolved radioactive substances, is oxidised in a first step, preferably using hydrogen superoxide. After oxidation, the mixture is neutralised using ammonium hydroxide. During the neutralisation stage, the radioactive metals and different radioactive substances are precipitated out in the form of insoluble fractions of various metal hydroxides. The precipitated solids are filtered in a subsequent step and the radioactive waste is eliminated and for example set in a cement matrix. The ferrocement that is thus obtained is also watertight. Dissolved salts are contained in the residual liquid phase. Said salts are isolated by electrodialysis to obtain the starting acid and the ammonium hydroxide that was used in the neutralisation stage. The starting substances that are now free of radioactivity can thus be re-used. |
