Impact of the Low-Temperature Reactivity of Reillex(TM) HPQ on Actinide Processing

Journal Article · · Solvent Extraction and Ion Exchange
OSTI ID:787465
Reactive System Screening Tool(TM) data and a computational model are used to predict the impact of pressurization on a typical process-scale ion exchange column due to gases generated by a low temperature exothermic reaction (LTE). The LTE results from a reaction between nitric acid and the ethylbenzene pendant groups of the Reillex(TM) HPQ resin. This reaction would occur if the resin bed were inadvertently heated above 70 degrees C.
