Description

Uranium and plutonium were recovered by liquid-liquid extraction from simulated sulfuric acid stainless steel decladding solution with several extractants. Consecutive extraction of U(IV) and Pu(III) or (IV) by 0.1 to 0 3 M primary amine in hydrocarbon-- alcohol diluent appeared promising, and chemical flowsheets were demonstrated in laboratoryscale continuous countercurrent extraction. Extraction of U(VI) with a dialkylphosphoric acid appeared promising when plutonium recovery is not needed. Recovery is also chemically feasible by extraction of U(VI) and Pu(IV) with an N-benzyl secondary alkyl amine or a trialkylphosphine oxide. The amine extracts are stripped with nitric acid, giving a sulfate-nitrate product solution. ... continued below

The organophosphorus extractants permit elimination of the sulfate but require sodium carbonate for stripping. (auth)
