Modern Pit Process: Flowsheet Studies
A preliminary study of a process that oxidizes Pu(III) to Pu(IV) in sulfamic-nitric solutions and feeds the resulting solution directly to solvent extraction indicates a probable success for this process change. The gain is the elimination of a cation exchange step in the process in the Modern Pit Processing Facility. The aim of this study is to eliminate the cation exchange step. The benefit of eliminating cation exchange is a space saving worth $10-30M and a simplified process.
