RECOVERY OF RHODIUM FROM FISSION PRODUCTS

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4136467
A process for recovering rhodium from fission products was developed. An aqueous solution of the fission products is treated so as to precipitate rhodium as a sulfide. The rhodium sulfide is redissolved and converted to a basesoluble complex rhodium salt. The pH of the solution is adjusted to the alkaline range to remove base-insoluble constituents, after which the filtrate is converted to chloride. Ruthenium and other volatile fission products are removed by distillation, and the rhodium chloride is reduced to rhodium metal. (M.C.G.)
