The paper reviews some applications of new two-phase aqueous extraction systems based on water-soluble polymers such as poly(ethylene glycol) for separation and extraction of actinides from various salt solutions. It is shown that two-phase aqueous systems based on poly(ethylene glycol) may be successfully used for isolation and separation of actinides, including americium, in various oxidation states from sulfate solutions. 22 refs., 6 figs., 6 tabs.
