Title:
METHOD OF RECOVERING PLUTONIUM IN SOLID WASTE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPS60224097
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for recovering the plutonium contained in the solid waste, such as process, technological and laboratory waste. The waste is contacted with aqueous nitric acid solution having a nitric acid concentration of 2 to 8 mole/l, which contains a compound of Ag2+ soluble in the solution, for oxidizing the plutonium present in the waste and for dissolving same in the nitric solution. Preferably, contacting takes place in an electrolytic cell having an anode and a cathode, by applying a potential difference between anode and cathode which is sufficient to continuously regenerate the Ag2+ ions used for oxidizing the elements present in said waste.
