Title: Extraction behavior of americium and plutonium with mixed solvent extractants

Conference · · Sep. Sci. Technol.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5530912

The mixed solvent extractants, dibutyl N,N-diethylcarbamoylmethylenephosphonate (DBDECMP)-tributyl phosphate (TBP), using carbon tetrachloride diluent, were studied for extracting americium (III) and plutonium (IV) from 0.35 and 7M HNO/sub 3/ at 25/sup 0/C. Synergistic effects were observed in this system as was the case with preliminary results (described herein) using the dihexyl analogue DHDECMP and TBP. 1 figure, 2 tables.
