Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a decontamination solution for tissue contaminated with silver Ag 110 m , as well as to a method for decontamination of such tissue using this decontamination solution.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to develop a specific decontaminating solution for this type of contamination.
  • this solution for decontaminating tissues contaminated with silver Ag 110 m comprises: - an aqueous ammoniacal solution whose concentration is between 2.63 and 52.5 g / l in which silver nitrate AgNO3 is dissolved, at a concentration between 12 and 18 mg / l, and a surfactant at a concentration between 12 and 24 g / l.
  • This cycle of steps can be repeated several times, depending on the residual contamination accepted for a given type of fabric or garment.
  • the solution for decontaminating tissue contaminated with silver Ag110 m comprises an aqueous ammoniacal solution whose concentration is between 2.63 and 52.5 g / l and preferably between 10.5 and 52.5 g / l.
  • silver nitrate AgNO3 and a surfactant are dissolved in said ammonia solution.
  • the concentration of silver nitrate in the ammoniacal solution is between 12 and 18 mg / l, or better still between 15 and 16 mg / l.
  • the concentration of the surfactant varies between 12 and 24 g / l.
  • the surfactant is preferably chosen from anionic or nonionic detergents, such as, for example, alkylsulfonates, alkylarylsulfonates, ethoxylated alkylphenols or ethoxylated alcohols. These products are known under the brands RBS, TEEPOL or SKIP, for example.
  • the silver from the AgNO3 solution replaces Ag 110m which was in the contaminated tissue.
  • samples were taken by cutting and brought into contact with different concentrations of the decontaminating solution, in 100 ml beakers, kept under stirring and at heating temperatures between 45 and 90 ° C.
  • the measurements were carried out on a 40% efficiency germanium diode HP.
  • the signal processing was carried out by an INTERTECHNIQUE spectrometer (registered trademark) equipped with INTER-GAMMA software, (registered trademark).
  • Table 1 sample number and initial contamination contamination of the first washing solution (Bq) decontamination factor (%) contamination of the second washing solution (Bq) decontamination factor (%) contamination of the third washing solution (Bq) residual contamination on the tissue (Bq) 1 (105 Bq) 100 ⁇ 5 95.2 5 ⁇ 1 4.8 ⁇ 0.5 ⁇ 0.5 2 (94 Bq) 91 ⁇ 5 96.8 2.9 ⁇ 0.6 3.1 - ⁇ 0.5 3 (98 Bq) 92 ⁇ 8 93.8 4.4 ⁇ 0.8 4.5 - 2.2 ⁇ 0.7
  • the average of the results gives a decontamination factor of 95.1% after the first wash and 4.1% after the second wash.
  • the residual contamination of the tissue is close to 1%.
  • Table 2 sample number and initial contamination contamination of the first washing solution (Bq) decontamination factor (%) contamination of the second washing solution (Bq) decontamination factor (%) residual contamination on the tissue (Bq) 1 (95 Bq) 86 ⁇ 5 90.5 4.6 ⁇ 0.7 4.9 3.5 ⁇ 0.8 2 (78 Bq) 72 ⁇ 4 92.3 5.3 ⁇ 0.8 6.8 0.8 ⁇ 0.2 3 (86 Bq) 81 ⁇ 4.3 94.2 3.5 ⁇ 0.7 4.1 1.4 ⁇ 0.2

  • the average of the results gives a decontamination factor of 91.7% after the first wash and 4.7% after the second wash. Furthermore, the residual contamination on the fabric is 3.3%.
  • Table 4 sample number and initial contamination contamination of the first washing solution (Bq) decontamination factor (%) contamination of the second washing solution (Bq) decontamination factor (%) contamination of the third washing solution (Bq) residual contamination on the tissue (Bq) 1 (325 Bq) 273 ⁇ 15 84 41 ⁇ 4 12 5.7 ⁇ 1.7 5.8 ⁇ 1.5 2 (175 Bq) 156 ⁇ 12 89 16 ⁇ 2.3 9.1 ⁇ 0.5 3.1 ⁇ 0.8
  • the average of the results gives a decontamination factor of 86.5% after the first washing and 10.5% after the second washing. Furthermore, the residual contamination on the fabric is 1.8%.
