Extraction behavior of americium and plutonium with mixed-solvent extractions

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6776395
The mixed solvent extractants, dibutyl N,N-diethylcarbamoylmethylene-phosphanate (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. Significant synergistic effects were observed in this system as was the case with preliminary results (described herein) using the dihexyl analogue DHDECMP and TBP.
