Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9943006A1] The invention concerns a method for decontaminating metallic surfaces, whereby the latter are treated with a cerium acid solution having valence 4<+>, the ceric ion being regenerated with ozone. The method is characterised in that the metallic surface is treated at a temperature ranging between 60 DEG C and 90 DEG C with an acid solution containing cerium with valence 4<+>, the cerium with valence 4<+> being continuously regenerated at substantially the same temperature as that of said solution, said regeneration being carried out by injecting ozone into the decontaminating solution in a gas-liquid contactor (2) of the static mixer type wherein the ozone and the cerium-based acid solution are transported in cocurrent.
