The partitioning of minor trivalent actinides (An) from lanthanides (Ln) is one the challenges in chemical treatment nuclear waste. optimal ligand to carry out separation An(III) and Ln(III) using solvent extraction has meet several important criteria: high selectivity towards solute, radiolytic stability, stripping possibilities recycling organic phase, factors good distribution ratio, name just a few them. A chronological line can be drawn along development each family some milestones are...

In recent decades, rare-earth elements (REEs) have seen a considerable increase in usage modern technologies and the so-called green energy sources. The REEs are currently regarded to be among most critical by European Union (EU) United States (USA). Large investments made research of recycling from end-of-life products E-scrap. One potential source for larger amounts neodymium dysprosium magnets. this work, selective extraction sulfuric media leachate (containing Nd, Dy, Pr, Gd, Co, B)...

The hydrometallurgical separation concepts for the heterogeneous recycling of irradiated nuclear fuel developed in Europe are presented and discussed. Most these were within European collaborative projects involve solvent extraction processes separating trivalent minor actinides (with a focus on americium) from raffinate solution such as PUREX (Plutonium Uranium Reduction Extraction) or an evolution PUREX. Depending process chemistry applied, schemes each consisting one, two three cycles...

Abstract A GANEX (Group ActiNide EXtraction) separation system for transmutation has been developed. In this process the actinides should be extracted as a group from lanthanides and fission corrosion/activation products. This can achieved by combining BTBP (bis-triazine-bipyridine) with TBP (tri-butyl phosphate) in cyclohexanone. From 4M nitric acid organic extracts (log(DAm) = 2.19, log(DPu) 2.31, log(DU) 1.03, log(DNp) 0.53) also separates them (log(DLa) −2.0, log(DCe) −1.72, log(DNd)...
