METHOD FOR THE SEPARATION OF PLUTONIUM FROM URANIUM

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4164903

A method is presented for the separation of Pu from U by means of a single step after primary extraction of these elements with an organic solvent. The solution containing the dissolved Pu and U is passed through a column containing a comminuted solid absorption material on which is absorbed a solvent capable of dissolving the Pu compounds. After passage of the solution the Pu is eluted with a solvent dissolving the Pu from the absorbed solution. (W.L.H.)
