    摘要: Protactinium, actinium, radium, radiolanthanides and other radionuclide fission products were separated and recovered from a proton-irradiated thorium target. The target was dissolved in concentrated HCl, which formed anionic complexes of protactinium but not with thorium, actinium, radium, or radiolanthanides. Protactinium was separated from soluble thorium by loading a concentrated HCl solution of the target onto a column of strongly basic anion exchanger resin and eluting with concentrated HCl. Actinium, radium and radiolanthanides elute with thorium. The protactinium that is retained on the column, along with other radionuclides, is eluted may subsequently treated to remove radionuclide impurities to afford a fraction of substantially pure protactinium. The eluate with the soluble thorium, actinium, radium and radiolanthanides may be subjected to treatment with citric acid to form anionic thorium, loaded onto a cationic exchanger resin, and eluted. Actinium, radium and radiolanthanides that are retained can be subjected to extraction chromatography to separate the actinium from the radium and from the radio lanthanides.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method of separating trivalent actinides from at least one trivalent lanthanide and/or yttrium, whereby the trivalent actinides are extracted from an aqueous solution containing a H+ concentration of 0.01 to 2 moles/liter by using as extractant an (aryl)dithiophosphinic acid of the Formula R1R2PS (SH), in which R1 is phenyl or naphthyl, R2 is phenyl or naphthyl, or R1 and R2 are each phenyl or naphthyl substituted by methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, cyano, nitro, or halogen, with addition of an extraction synergist selected from the group consisting of trioctylphosphate, tris-(2-propylpentyl)-phosphate, and tris-(2-ethylhexyl)-phosphate. The use of the synergist in the extraction allows for a more selective extraction.

    摘要: A process for removing molybdenum from uranium bearing solutions reduces molybdenum contamination of uranium product. The process employs solvent extraction techniques to remove molybdenum by using a molybdenum-selective extraction reagent of the chelating hydroxy-oxime type. The molybdenum-loaded extractant is stripped with dilute alkali for reuse. Where the uranium bearing solution originates from a solvent extraction process, a pretreatment stage is applied using an agent to remove entrained uranium extractant.
