Abstract
The chemical basis for molten salt extraction separation of americium from plutonium is presented. The extraction factor relationship is used to quantify this liquid-liquid extraction (molten salt-molten metal) unit operation. The amount of salt required for an optimum process is an order of magnitude lower than the amount used previously in the production operation of the process.Keywords
