Actinide recovery from combustible waste: the Ce(IV)-NHO/sub 3/ system. Final report
Description:
Actinides in ash can be leached effectively by refluxing with Ce(IV) in HNO/sub 3/; solubilization of actinide in ash was greater than or equal to 95% at ash concentrations to 30 g/l in stirred leachant. Plutonium and americium were the actinides present in the ash. Solubilized plutonium and americium were recovered from Ce(IV)-HNO/sub 3/ solution by solvent extraction. Extraction of plutonium into 30% tributyl phosphate in n-dodecane gave 99.99% recovery. The plutonium-depleted solution was th…
