Application of SO42−/TiO2 solid superacid in decontaminating radioactive pollutants

Polyaniline doped with SO42−/TiO2 superacid shows good conductive ability. When used in a strippable coating film for decontaminating radioactive pollutants, the SO42−/TiO2 solid superacid replacing HCl exhibits higher electrical conductivity (7.01 s/cm) and a decontamination ratio higher than 97%. Coating and electrolyzing the film in solution or in dry medium were effective methods, the latter was more promising for decontaminating radioactive pollutants which were attached to the surface or within the body of equipments used in nuclear industry.
