PROCESS FOR RUTHENIUM DECONTAMINATION OF LIQUID RADIOACTIVE WASTES, AND DEVICE FOR PERFORMING THIS PROCESS

摘要

A method of removing ruthenium contamination from a radioactive liquid effluent, consisting in adding to said liquid effluent a reducing agent and copper ions, to form, in said effluent, a cuprous oxide precipitate on which the ruthenium is fixed, and subsequently separating the precipitate thus formed from the effluent, and an apparatus for performing this method.
