Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0475635A1] A method for removing cesium, e.g., radioactive nuclides of cesium, from an aqueous solution containing nitric acid in high concentration, such as a high-level radioactive waste solution from the Purex process, comprising sorption on an insoluble ferrocyanide compound as the sorbent, wherein the aqueous solution is mixed with a small amount of a specific oxidation-preventing agent selected from hydrazinium compounds, amidosulphonic acid compounds and several other compounds which do not necessarily have high reducing activity for ferricyanides into ferrocyanides.
