THE CHEMISTRY OF RUTHENIUM WITH REFERENCE TO THE PLUTONIUM SEPARATION PROCESS. PART IV. THE SULPHIDE TREATMENT FOR RUTHENIUM IN THE URANIUM STREAM

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4344150

The effects of the different variables in the Cu coprecipitation method for removing Ru from plant solutions are presented in graphical form and are discussed. Liter scale experiments with the copper sulfide method and also with graphite, charcoal, and antimony sulfide columns are deacribed. The mechanism of the Ru removal process is discussed. It is concluded that although the graphite column process described is more efficient than a series of butex cycles in decontaminating U solutiona from Ru, the engineering problems that would be involved weigh heavily in favor of the latter process.
