SOLVENT EXTRACTION PROCESS FOR PLUTONIUM

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4155814
;

A process of separating plutonium in at least the tetravalent state from fission products contained in an aqueous acidic solution by extraction with alkyl phosphate is reported. The plutonium can then be back-extracted from the organic phase by contact with an aqueous solution of sulfuric, phosphoric, or oxalic acid as a complexing agent.
