Fission product recovery from waste solutions by solvent extraction

Conference ·
OSTI ID:4667304

Solvent-extraction techniques for recovering fission products from reactor fuel process waste liquors are discussed. Topics covered include composition of feed -liquors, experimental techniques, recovery of strontium and rare earths, promethium and rare earth separations, cesium recovery, zirconium - niobium recovery, and aqueous feed pretreatment with amines. A flowsheet for the techniques described is presented. (M.C.G.)
