CHEMICAL TECHNOLOGY DIVISION, CHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT SECTION C, PROGRESS REPORT ON SEPARATIONS CHEMISTRY AND SEPARATIONS PROGRESS RESEARCH FOR JANUARY-JUNE 1963

Description: Cesium Recovery from Ores. Adaptation of the phenol extraction (Phenex) process to the recovery of cesium from ore leach liquors continued to show promise. In roast-leach tests, 98 to 99% of the cesium was dissolved from pollucite ore by roasting the ore at 800 deg C with 1.8 parts of Na/sub 2/CO/sub 3/ plus 1.2 parts of NaCl and leaching with water. More than 99% of the cesium was recovered from the leach liquor and separated from other alkali metals by extracting with 4-sec-butyl-2-( alpha -m… more

CHEMICAL EQUILIBRIA AND REACTION RATES FOR HYDROFLUORINATION OF UO$sub 2$ FROM "AMMONIUM DIURANATE" AND FROM UO$sub 3$

Description: Reaction rates for the hydrofluorination of UO/sub 2/ derived from two widely different source materials (sulfated pot-denitrated UO/sub 3/ and "ammonium diuranate," (ADU)) were determined in a thermobalance over a wide range of temperatures (460 deg F to 1150 deg F) and with several HF--H/sub 2/O gas phase mixtures varying from 20 to 100 per cent HF. These data were then organized to yield single plots for each type of feed material. From these plots, maximum instantaneous reaction rates may b… more

STRESS ANALYSIS OF SCTI MIXING TEES

Description: A specially designed tee, which is verified by stress analysis to be operable under the design conditions of the SCTl test installation, is shown. The main line sodium flow is changed from primary sodium flow at 1300 deg F to secondary sodium flow at 700 deg F. This is done at such a rate as to cause the downstream temperature to change 35 deg F/sec. There are 25 of these cycles. Startup causes a temperature change from ambient to 350 deg F on both lines at a rate of 100 deg F/hr. There are 5 o… more

HEAT TRANSFER ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF A PLUGGING INDICATOR SYSTEM FOR SRE

Description: The analysis was performed on a system comprising a counterflow, concentric-pipe economizer, heat exchanger, flowmeter, plug, and connecting pipe. The system was assumed to be at some initial temperature equal to the inlet sodium temperature and suddenly loses heat to a medium in the heat exchanger. Design and operating data are presented. A cooling rate curve is given where the nitrogen flow rate is decreased when the plug temperature reaches 400 deg F. The time variation of minimum temperatur… more

ANALYSIS OF SNAP REACTOR COOLANT CROSS-FLOW IN THE SNAP-2 REACTOR EXCLUDING THE PERIPHERAL $sub 4$UNFED$sub 4$ CHANNEL

Description: The deviation from the expected coolant flow distribution within the SNAP 2 reactor is due to the filling and draining of the unfed'' peripheral flow channels. An analysis of the cross-flow in a simulated SNAP 2 model omitting the unfed'' peripheral channels was made. The results of this investigation are presented herein. (auth)

Separations of yttrium and some rare earths by liquid-liquid extraction

Description: The use of liquid-liquid extraction for the separation of some inorganic compounds was demonstrated. The yttrium-- rare earth concentrates were obtained from Fergusonite ore, Gadolinite ore, and a by-product from an ion-exchange resin separation process. In each case the mixture in terms of oxide was composed of from 50 to 60% yttrium and 5 to 15% heavy rare earths with the light rare earth fraction constituting the remaining material. Tributyl phosphate was generally employed for exracting nit… more

Strictly hyperbolic models of co-current three-phase flow withgravity

Description: We study the character of the equations in the traditional formulation of one-dimensional immiscible three-phase flow with gravity, in the limit of negligible capillarity. We restrict our analysis to co-current flow required for a displacement process; in cases of mixed co-current and counter-current flow, capillarity effects cannot be dropped from the formulation. The model makes use of the classical multiphase extension of Darcy's equation. It is well known that, if relative permeabilities ar… more

COUNTERCURRENT MUTUAL SEPARATION OF Y$sup 91$ AND Pm$sup 147$ BY SOLVENT EXTRACTION USING PULSE COLUMN

Description: The use of continuous solvent extraction was proved quite satisfactory in separating Y/sup 91/ from Pm/sup 147/, using synthetic mixtures of the nuclide pair on a tracer level. The separation was conducted in a compound perforated plate pulse column using a solvent containing 10% HDEHP, di(2 ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid, in toluene. Flow rates to the extraction column were maintained around 1 ml/min of feed, 3 ml/min scrub and 12 ml/min solvent giving one volume change per hour. Pulse frequency … more
