Precipitation Characteristics of Palladium from a Simulated Radioactive Liquid Waste by Ascorbic Acid
The precipitation characteristics of palladium (Pd) from a simulated radwaste solution by ascorbic acid was investigated. Pd was selectively precipitated by the reduction reaction of Pd with ascorbic acid. When the nitric acid concentration in the 8 component system was below 2.0 M, Pd over 99.5% was selectively precipitated at an ascorbic acid concentration above 0.06 M, while other elements mainly remained in solution. The precipitation yield of Pd by ascorbic acid decreased with the increase of the nitric acid concentration.
