Abstract

A method for the electro-decontamination of spent ion exchange resin contaminated with hematite under dynamic conditions using sulfuric acid solutions has been suggested. It has been shown that decontamination under dynamic conditions excludes the secondary adsorption of radionuclides on ion-exchanger sites. The efficiency of this approach has been compared to that of control experiments without direct current treatment. A positive effect of the introduction of Fe2+ on the rate of dissolution of hematite has been demonstrated. This allows for decreasing the concentration of the sulfuric acid solution without decreasing the decontamination efficiency.
