Abstract

See full text

Nickel (or other transition metal) contaminated with about 5 ppm technetium is decontaminated by dissolving the nickel and the technetium into an aqueous acid solution while introducing a graphite or activated carbon powder into the acid to immediately adsorb the dissolving technetium. The technetium-contaminated powder is separated from the aqueous acid solution and the nickel is then electrowon from the solution. The depleted acid solution is then recycled back to the dissolution step.
