Disclosed herein are an automated simultaneous separation system for radionuclides in multiple samples and a method for automatically separating uranium (U) using the same, which can automatically and simultaneously separate multiple samples. The automated simultaneous separation system includes: a solution distributor (30) for distributing a separation solution in seven directions; independent columns (80) of the same number as that of the samples, the columns (80) containing resin for chemical separation; a 8-channel tubing pump (60) for separately injecting the samples into the columns (80); first and second 3-way solenoid valves (50, 90) mounted at the front end and the rear end of the columns (80), and a digital pump speed controller (70) for freely controlling injection speed of the samples and solutions according to separation steps.
摘要:
A method for separating a metal from a composition including the metal involves forming an electrolytic cell in which the anode comprises a composition including the metal. The electrolyte is an ionic liquid. A sufficient potential difference is applied between the anode and the cathode to cause the metal to transfer from the anode to the cathode deposited thereon.

The present invention relates to a process to dissolve plutonium or a plutonium alloy, by placing it in contact with an aqueous dissolution mixture, wherein said dissolution mixture comprises nitric acid, a carboxylic acid with complexing properties with respect to plutonium, and a compound comprising at least one —NH2 radical such as urea. The invention also relates to a process to convert plutonium or a plutonium alloy into plutonium oxide and to manufacture nuclear fuel from said oxide. The invention particularly applies to the dismantling of plutonium contained in nuclear weapons with a view to its use in civilian nuclear reactors, particularly in the form of MOX fuel.

A pyrochemical process is utilized to recover 99% of the remaining transuranium materials from plutonium-uranium extraction waste. One step of the overall pyrochemical process involves the electrochemical separation of the waste components. A solid anode and a solid cathode are used in this electrochemical separation step to electrorefine in single or multiple steps. The solid anode and solid cathode are selected from certain preferred anodic and cathodic materials. Where multiple electrorefining steps are used to obtain more complete electroseparation, this is achieved by employing in the multiple electrorefining steps both a solid anode, suitably graphite, and a molten metal anode containing a mixture of the actinide and rare earth elements. This results in greater separation than can be realized through electroseparation by use of either anode alone.
摘要:
A method is described for the chemical reduction of plutonium oxides to plutonium metal by the use of pure lithium metal. Lithium metal is used to reduce plutonium oxide to alpha plutonium metal (alpha-Pu). The lithium oxide by-product is reclaimed by sublimation and converted to the chloride salt, and after electrolysis, is removed as lithium metal. Zinc may be used as a solvent metal to improve thermodynamics of the reduction reaction at lower temperatures. Lithium metal reduction enables plutonium oxide reduction without the production of huge quantities of CaO--CaCl.sub.2 residues normally produced in conventional direct oxide reduction processes.
摘要:
Coatings of metals, metal alloys, metal carbides, nitrides, borides, silicides and phosphides are provided. A precursor having organic ligands bonded to one or more metal atoms, such precursor having the element X also bonded directly or indirectly to the metal or metals, is pyrolyzed on a substrate surface to give a coating of M.sub.a X.sub.b. M represents a transition, lanthanide or actinide metal or tin, X represents C, N, B, Si, or P, and a and b represent the atomic proportions of M and X. The subscript b may be zero if an alloy or pure metal is to be prepared. The product M.sub.a X.sub.b can be prepared by relatively low temperature pyrolysis and the precursor can be used as a solution or a low melting solid.
