Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for decontamination of surfaces according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • EP 0071336 A1 also describes a method for the chemical removal of deposits known in which using permanganate salt Decontamination is achieved in three steps becomes. Avoids the path taken there apparently the use of chromic acid.
  • a second treatment step is then, usually after an intermediate rinse that loosened Oxide layer in an acid, refractory and complex-forming Solution resolved and removed.
  • the oxidative treatment step there are a number of methods in use so z.
  • Other known methods see the use of permanganic acid, Hydrogen peroxide, cerium IV salts or others Oxidizing agents before.
  • the permanganic acid can preferably be prepared by adding an aqueous solution of a Alkali or alkaline earth permanganate via a cation exchanger passed and so the free acid is formed after the addition of chromic acid is used as a decontamination agent.
  • chromic acid and salts of Permanganic acid suitable as a decontamination agent; however, the additional imported cation with the radioactive waste slightly higher salt loads arise. Characterizing for the effectiveness of the decontamination agent are the pH and the redox potential of the Solution. Therefore, this can be easily grasped
  • the first treatment step is monitored and be controlled.
  • the effect of the first treatment step used decontamination solution by pumping, stirring or by application of ultrasound significantly increase.
  • Through the Chemical measures can also be the same Removal of the modified surface layers be accelerated in the second treatment step.
  • the Solution in the circuit via an ion exchanger passed and rinsed the treated surface.
  • Samples a) were made of ferritic chrome steel at room temperature (290 to 295 K) during 16 hours with a solution of 0.05 mol each Chromic and permanganic acid treated. After a Intermediate rinsing became a decontamination factor (Ratio of measured activity before and after treatment) determined from 2.
  • Samples a) made of ferritic chrome steel, samples b) austenitic stainless steels and samples c) from INCOLOY 800 and from INCONEL 600 were each at room temperature for 16 hours in aqueous solutions with 0.01 to 0.1 mol Chromic acid and 0.001 to 0.05 mol permanganic acid treated, the ratio of chromic acid to permanganic acid was between 1:10 and 25: 1.
  • the samples were then each during 6 Hours at room temperature in an aqueous Solution with 0.1 mol oxalic acid under the influence of ultrasound treated further. Finally were on all samples, depending on the oxidative treatment and from the sample material, decontamination factors measured between 10 and 1000.
  • Samples a) made of ferritic chromium steel and samples c) made from INCONEL 600 were each treated for 16 hours at room temperature in a solution with 0.1 mol of chromic acid and 0.05 mol of permanganic acid. After a subsequent treatment with a water jet of 2.4 kbar (240 Pa) pressure at a treatment speed of 3.6 m 2 / hour, decontamination factors of about 30 were obtained on samples a) made of ferritic chromium steel and 600 decontamination factors of on samples c) from INCONEL measured over 100. Extensive follow-up examinations showed that these treatments did not attack the surfaces of the base materials.
  • Samples c) from INCONEL 600 were during 16 hours at room temperature with a solution of 0.05 mol of chromic acid and 0.002 mol of permanganic acid sprayed. After a further one Treatment with a water jet, as in the Example 4, decontamination factors were between 20 and 80 determined.
