Behavior of Some Tertiary Aliphatic Amines in the Extraction of Uranium Aqueous Solutions and Fission Products; COMPORTAMENTO DI ALCUNE AMMINE ALIFATICHE TERZIARIE NELL'ESTRAZIONE DI SOLUZIONI NITRICHE DI URANIO E DI PRODOTTI DI FISSIONE

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4129858

The extraction behavior of aqueous solutions containing nitric acid, uranyl nitrate, and flssion products was investigated using solutions of long- chain tertiary amines in hydrocarbon diluent. Four different commercial products ranging from tri-octyl to tri-dodecyl amine have been tested. The partition coefficients of nitric acid, uranium, and some of the more important fission products were determined in various experimental conditions. Decontamination factors in scrub and strip operations were gained in bench-scale experiments. (auth)
