STAINLESS STEEL WASTES. II. CO-REMOVAL OF FISSION PRODUCTS IN THE ELECTROLYTIC SEPARATION OF IRON, CHROMIUM, AND NICKEL AT A DROPPING MERCURY ELECTRODE
A study was made of the removal rates of cesium, barium, strontium, yttrium. cerium, ruthenium, and zirconium as a function of electrode potential at a dropping mercury cathode. Removal was studied in sulfate solutions containing varying concentrations of iron, chromium, nickel, chloride, and acid. Results indicated that iron, chromium, and nickel can be removed from acidic sulfate solutions with good separation from all fission product ions studied except zirconium and possibly ruthenium. Polarographic half-wave potential data were obtained and tabulated together with minimum removal potentials for the fission product ions. A description of the mercury drop-washing polarographic cell used for studying removal of radioisotope tracer amounts is presented. (auth)
