Investigation of mixed N,O-donor dipicolinamide derivative ligands for use in nuclear fuel separations

Creator:

Lapka, Joseph

Abstract:

In this work, three isomeric forms of N, N'-diethyl, N, N'-ditolyldipicolinamide (EtTDPA) were synthesized. The elements thorium through americium, which make up a significant portion of the actinides in used nuclear fuel (with the exception of curium), and two fission products, molybdenum and technetium, were tested for their ability to...

Influence of temperature on the extraction of Pu(IV) by tri-n-butyl phosphate from acidic nitrate solutions

Creator:

Brown, M. Alex

Abstract:

The goal of Advanced Fuel Cycle Initiative program is to efficiently separate and recover actinides in attempts to reprocess irradiated nuclear fuel and reduce the necessary storage volume. In order to facilitate large-scale industrial applications of liquid-liquid separation processes, knowledge of the thermodynamic constants associated with the distribution of metal...
