<p>A process for the decontamination of solid surfaces contaminated with radioactive or heavy metal species using a solution based on one or more non-persistent complexing agents, or for the chemical cleaning of steam generator sludge or boiler deposits using such a solution, or for removing radioactive or heavy metal species from a solution using a combination of a one or more non-persistent complexing agents and a solid support, followed in each case by thermal or thermal-chemical treatment to decompose said non-persistent complexing agent. The preferred non-persistent complexing agents are hydroxamic acids, and the most preferred is acetohydroxamic acid.</p> |
