Tributyl-phosphate-impregnated sorbents for plutonium-uranium separations

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6014693
Bayer AG Lewatit OC-1023, a macroporous sorbent impregnated with tributyl phosphate (TBP), was evaluated for the separation of uranium and plutonium from mixed actinide residues. The sorbent was tested for uranium breakthrough capacity, plutonium washing, and uranium elution behavior. TBP-impregnated Amberlite XAD-4 was compared to the Lewatit OC-1023.
