Ruthenium process chemistry considerations: Redox process

Description: During the first 15 months of operation of the Redox process, it was clearly demonstrated that in the absence of any pre-solvent extraction treatment of the starting metal solution, ruthenium contributed from 75 to 95% of the remaining fission product activity in both the final uranium and plutonium streams, and that three solvent extraction cycles were able consistently to produce, at best, only marginal quality product. This precarious position was further endangered by a three-fold reduction… more

The Preparation of Aluminium Nitrate from Hydrated Aluminum Oxides

Description: This report discusses methods of producing aluminum nitrate for the Redox process. Large amounts of aluminum nitrate are consumed during the Redox process, so this report explores preparation of this material through the dissolution of hydrated aluminum oxide in nitric acid.

Recommendations for separations processes program

Description: Many questions have been raised concerning the advisability of continuing the presently scheduled Redox design and construction program in performance to other uranium recovery processes. In order to answer these questions properly, an extensive re-examination of the Redox process objectives and status and a careful study of other possible alternative uranium recovery processes have been carried out by the Hanford Works. This survey has included consideration of both existing process and facili… more

RDA No. DC-7 -- Capacity basis for increasing production from Redox -- 202-S

Description: The outstanding economy of the Redox process when compared with the BiPO{sub 4} process dictates that as much production as possible, and as soon as possible, should be shifted from the BiPO{sub 4} process to Redox (202-S). It is proposed that the capacity basis for the subject study be for as much as 200 tons of uranium and up to 105 kilograms of plutonium per month, assuming that facilities proposed for these capacity levels will not interfere with the operating flexibility of the plant, if i… more
