Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:The present invention discloses a method for the separation of radionuclides from an aqueous radioactive waste solution, the method comprising: receiving of an aqueous radioactive waste solution, adding at least one zirconium salt to the aqueous radioactive waste solution, changing the pH of the radioactive waste solution to obtain a precipitate P, and separating the precipitate P from the radioactive waste solution. The present invention also discloses the use of zirconium salts, preferably zirconium oxychloride, zirconium nitrate or a zirconium oxynitrate or any mixture thereof, for the treatment of aqueous radioactive waste solution, preferably acidic or alkaline intermediate or low level radioactive waste solution, preferably an acidic intermediate and/or low level radioactive waste solution.
