Abstract

According to the invention, a consumable anode constituted by a metal alloy incorporates between 20 and 70 wt. % iron, between 20 and 40 wt. % cobalt and between 5 and 30 wt. % aluminium. To these basic constituents can optionally be added elements such as nickel and/or titanium and/or copper and/or niobium. The decontamination process involves an electrodissolution of said anode.
