Examples
One theory holds that the pertechnetate reacts with the steel surface to form a layer of technetium dioxide which prevents further corrosion; the same effect explains how iron powder can be used to remove pertechnetate from water.
In one experiment, a specimen of carbon steel was kept in an aqueous solution of pertechnetate for 20 years and was still uncorroded.
The anionic pertechnetate and iodide tend not to adsorb into the surfaces of minerals, and are likely to be washed away.
Hence the pertechnetate escapes through those processes.
