Correlation of Polarographic Walf-Wave Potentials With Nuclear Magnetic Resonance "Chemical Shifts"

Description: "Since nuclear magnetic resonance ''chemical shifts'' are considered to be good measures of electron densities in molecules, the extent to which they can be correlated with the polarographic half-wave potentials of organic compounds has been surveyed. To extend the applicability and interpretation of the proposed correlation, parallel correlation of E, with Hammett's sigma and Taft's sigma parameters were made, since both of the latter are also regarded as indication of electronic distribution … more

Equilibrium Extraction Characteristics of Alkyl Amines and Nuclear Fuels Metals in Nitrate Systems. Progress Report No. V for the Period July 1 - September 30, 1959

Description: Extraction of HNO3 by triaryl amine was studied by equilibrating equal volumes of aqueous and organic phases at 25C. At HNO3 concentrations of 2 to 10 N the acid in the organic phase in excess of that equivalent in the amine concentration was proportional to the concentration of HNO3 in the equilibrated aqueous phase. other workers report similar results with nitric acid and tri-n-octyl amine in benzene. Zirconium extractions carried out at 10g Zr/1 with 0.35 M TLA nitrate in toluene showed a f… more

Monex Process: Terminal Report

Description: Chemical and engineering data were obtained for the feed digestion system and the extraction-scrub step of the Monex tributyl phosphate solvent-extraction process for recovering thorium and uranium from nitric acid-digested unclarified monasite sludge. Tests of the recommended conditions in a 2-in.-dia pulsed column demonstrated that thorium losses were approximately 1.2% and uranium losses, 1.5%. The flowsheet is workable but is not necessarily optimum.

Transient Pressures Developed by Sodium-Nitric Acid Reactions

Description: The Atomic Energy Commission has assigned Hanford Atomic Products Operation the responsibility of reprocessing some of the slightly enriched uranium fuel elements from nuclear power reactors. Some stainless steel clad fuel elements contain sodium or a sodium-potassium alloy as a heat transfer medium between metallic core and outer sheath. The nature of the reaction between water and sodium is well known; however, the reaction between sodium and an oxidizing acid is more energetic and not so wel… more

Recovery of U from Pyrolytic Carbon-Coated UC2 Spheroids

Description: 100% recovery of uranium from pyrolytic carbon-coated spheroids of uranium dicarbide has been accomplished by an aqueous electrolytic process at the small scale laboratory level. This result was obtained in a system which circulated 1 molar nitric acid through a thin bed of the spheres. The bed was supported between a glass frit and the anode, with which the bed was in contact. The anode was a spiral of platinum wire; the cathode was a grid of titanium wire. Current density was about 0.2 amp/cm… more

Safe Conditions For Applying Titanium In H.A.P.O Process Equipment

Description: A two and one-half year period of extreme caution where titanium and nitric acid are involved has passed since the occurrence of the last and most serious uncontrolled incident involving titanium and nitric acid. During this period controlled explosions involving titanium and nitric acid have been routinely reproduced, additional laboratory and pilot plant experience has been gained and successful industrial applications have been appraised. Based on laboratory data and the known industrial exp… more

Corrosion of Stainless Steel and Titanium in Purex 2WW

Description: In the Purex process, nitric acid is recovered from aqueous wastes by concentration and rectification. The concentrator bottoms are relatively corrosive to stainless steels, particularly on heat-exchange surfaces. This report summarizes studies aimed at determining corrosion rates for certain candidate materials of construction (304-L, 347, 312 stain steels and A-70 titanium) for the aqueous waste concentrators. Synthetic Purex Process 2WW, representing bottoms from the low level waste concentr… more

Inhibition of Nitric Acid Corrosion of Stainless Steel (Interim Report)

Description: For some time, it has been the opinion of the personnel of this laboratory and other investigators that an appreciable amount of the corrosion observed on stainless steel in nitric acid solutions might be due to the presence of some of the lower oxides of nitrogen; NO-, NO-2, etc. If this assumption is correct, the elimination of these compounds from process solutions should result in a significant increase in the service life of equipment handling nitric acid, such as acid fractionators.

The Rapid Determination of Nitric Acid and Thorium in Thorium Nitrate Solutions

Description: Abstract. The physico-chemical methods of determining nitric acid and thorium nitrate in solutions containing these two materials were investigated. Conductimetric titration with sodium hydroxide can be used to determine nitric acid accurately. the titration of thorium nitrate requires a separate standardization of the base however, since a basic salt is precipitated rather the normal hydroxide. The titration of thorium is reproductible however, so and empirical standardization can be used.… more

The System Pentaether-Uranyl Nitrate-Nitric Acid-Water

Description: The system pentaether-uranyl nitrate-nitric acid-water has been studied in the liquid-liquid region, Aqueous solutions containing 0.0M to 8.2M nitric acid and 0.0M to 2.3M uranyl nitrate were equilibrated with pentaether, and the effects of nitric acid concentration, uranyl nitrate concentration and temperature are discussed. Phase diagrams for the system are presented and approximate delta-H values are given.

Cation Exchange Separation of Divalent Metal Ions From Rare Earths

Description: From abstract: "The divalent metal ions of calcium, magnesium, nickel, and strontium are eluted from a cation exchange column with 1.5M nitric acid and separated from trivalent rare earths, aluminum and yttrium. Prior sequential elution of other metal ions with hydrochloric acid in acetone-water or with dilute hydrofluoric acid does not interfere with the present separation method."

Acid-Base Equilibria in Tertiary Butyl Alcohol

Description: From abstract: "The dissociation of acids in tertiary butyl alcohol has been studied by potentiometric, spectrophotometric, and conductimetric methods. Values for the over-all dissociation of perchloric and picric acids and several tetrabutylammonium salts were estimated by the Fuoss-Kraus treatment of conductance data. Potentiometric studies were carried out at constant ionic strength in order to minimize activity coefficient variations. An acidity scale was established from potentiometric mea… more

Operation of TNX Evaporator

Description: From abstract: "Performance data were obtained for the TNX replacement evaporator when operated within the limits imposed by a new control system. This system was designed to avoid conditions which might lead to a repetition of an earlier explosion due to inclusion of organic material in the uranyl nitrate-nitric acid system, which was heated to elevated temperature. The true heat transfer coefficient was found to be 280 BUT/hr-ft2-ºF for all concentrations of solutions to be evaporated in the … more

Concentration of Plutonium by Cation Exchange Part I - New Elutriants

Description: From summary: "The concentration of plutonium by cation exchange was significantly improved by using a solution of ammonium lactate and sulfamate as the elutriant instead of nitric and sulfamic acids. The new elutriant permitted essentially complete elution of the plutonium and also avoided formation of gases in the resin bed during elution. At 45ºC, 2.8M ammonium lactate plus 0.15M ammonium sulfamate eluted 99.3 per cent of the total plutonium at an average concentration of 43.8 grams per lite… more

Anion Exchange Recovery of Plutonium From Reduction Residues

Description: Technical report. From Abstract: "An anion exchange process was demonstrated for the recovery of plutonium from waste produced in the reduction of plutonium salts to the metal. Plutonium in a highly salted 6M nitric acid solution derived from the dissolution of slag and crucible waste was separated from impurities by absorbing the Pu (IV) nitrate complex on the anion exchange resin and subsequently eluting with nitric acid. A flowsheet for plant operation is presented."
