Priliminary study on the regeneration of spent electro-decontamination solution using phosphoric acid and oxalic acid

  • 1. Kyungpook National University, Daegu (Korea, Republic of)

Description

In this study, different amount of (fe(0)) were dissolve into different strength of phosphoric (H3PO4) acid and the optimum solubility was observed at 0.89M Fe(0) into 4M of H3PO4 acid. Different concentration of oxalic acid was added to determine the optimum precipitated condition. The dissolution kinetics of Fe(0) into H3PO4 acid was investigated at 40-50 degree Celsius. Iron oxides such as magnetite and hematite that may be formed on the surface of nuclear waste were also dissolved into the H3PO4 acid and the optimum solubility for magnetite is 0.005M while that for hematite is 0.02M in 8M H3PO4 acid, respectively. Fe(0) powder has been dissolved to 4M H3PO4 acid at 50 degree Celsius and 1M oxalic acid has been considered as the optimum condition of precipitation with Fe-oxalate. Optimum solubility for magnetite and hematite found at 0.005M and 0.02M respectively into 8M H3PO4 acid
