Decontamination of discharged aluminum brass condenser tubes of a BWR: evolving the chemical formulation for copper oxide dissolution

Chemical formulations for copper oxide dissolution have been evaluated primarily for the minimum ionic load resulting in the spent formulation along with other desirable qualities. Peroxydisulfuric acid prepared freshly through ion exchange route has shown almost stoichiometric dissolution of the co...

Description
Summary:Chemical formulations for copper oxide dissolution have been evaluated primarily for the minimum ionic load resulting in the spent formulation along with other desirable qualities. Peroxydisulfuric acid prepared freshly through ion exchange route has shown almost stoichiometric dissolution of the copper oxide as per the acidic oxidative action with efficient kinetics. Stability of the prepared formulation for its application and its effective oxidizing behaviour and aqueous cupric ion stabilizing by its redox product has been established experimentally.
