A Simple and Effective Purification Method for Removal of U(VI) from Soil-Flushing Effluent Using Precipitation: Distillation Process for Clearance

Background: The purpose of this study is to purify uranium (U[VI])-contaminated soil-flushing effluent using the precipitation–distillation process for clearance. Precipitation and distillation are commonly used techniques water treatment. We propose a combination these methods simple effective removal U(VI) ions from effluents. In addition, U concentration (Bq/g) solid waste generated in proposed treatment was analyzed confirm whether it satisfies clearance level.Materials Methods: Uranium-contaminated soil decontaminated by 0.5 M sulfuric acid. treated with sodium hydroxide powder precipitate ions, remaining were removed phosphate addition. which distilled reuse as eluent.Results Discussion: purification method effectively removes U-contaminated effluent. most satisfied level.Conclusion: considered have potential reduce amount radioactive generated.
