Abstract
To develop an advanced partitioning process by extraction chromatography using a minimal organic solvent and compact equipment to separate minor actinides such as Am and Cm from nitrate acidic high-level waste (HLW) solution, several novel silica-based extraction resins have been prepared by impregnating organic extractants into the styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer, which is immobilized in porous silica particles (SiO2-P). The extractants include octyl(phenyl)-N, N-diisobutylcarbamoylmethylphosphine oxide (CMPO), di(2-ethylhexyl)-phosphoric acid (HDEHP), and bis(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl)dithiophosphinic acid (Cyanex 301). Compared to conventional polymer-matrix resins, these new types of extraction resin are characterized by rapid kinetics and significantly low pressure loss in a packed column.The results of separation experiments revealed that trivalent actinides and lanthanides can be separated from other fission products, such as Cs, Sr, and Ru in simulated HLW solution containing concentrated nitric acid...Keywords
