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...

Synthesis and testing of a novel soft donor organic extractant molecule for targeted soft metal extraction from aqueous phases

Creator:

Gullekson, Brian J.

Abstract:

Spent nuclear fuel (SNF) resultant from the generation of nuclear power is a chemically and radiologically diverse system which is advantageous to chemically process prior to geologic disposal. Hydrometallurgy is the primary technology for chemical processing for light water reactor spent fuels, where spent fuel is dissolved in an acid...
