Abstract
AbstractTwo methods for removing technetium from soluble defense high-level waste are described. In the first method, technetium is precipitated as tetraphenylphosphonium pertechnetate and separated from the decontaminated solution using sintered metal crossflow filters. In the second method, pertechnetate is removed from solution using a strong base anion exchange resin and then eluted from the resin with nitric acid. The nitric acid is recovered by sorption of the pertechnetate on a weak base ion exchange resin. The pertechnetate is eluted from the weak base resin with NaOH and recovered by precipitation as the sulfide or oxide.
