Abstract

S> A process is presented for the separation of pluto nium from uranium and fission products in an aqueous acidic solution by use of a chelating agent. The plutonium is maintained in the tetravalent state and the uranium in the hexavalent state, and the acidic concentration is adjusted to about 1 N bar. The aqueous solution is then contacted with a water-immiscible organic solvent solution and the chelating agent. The chelating agents covered by this invention comprise a group of compounds characterized as fluorinated beta-diketones.

SEPARATION PROCESS FOR TRANSURANIC ELEMENT AND COMPOUNDS THEREOF

Patent Magnusson, L.B.

A process is described for the separation of neptunium, from aqueous solutions of neptunium, plutonium, uraniunn, and fission prcducts. This separation from an acidic aqueous solution of a tetravalent neptuniunn can be made by contacting the solution with a certain type of chelating,; agent, preferably dissolved in an organic solvent, to form a neptunium chelate compound. When the organic solvent is present, the neptunium chelate compound is extracted; otherwise, it precipitates from the aqueous solution and is separated by any suitable means. The chelating agent is a fluorinated BETA -diketone. such as trifluoroacetyl acetone.
SEPARATION PROCESS FOR ZIRCONIUM AND COMPOUNDS THEREOF

Patent Crandall, H.W.; Thomas, J.R.

The separation of zirconium from columbium, rare earths, yttrium and the alkaline earth metals, such mixtures of elements occurring in zirconium ores or neutron irradiated uranium is described. According to the invention a suitable separation of zirconium from a one normal acidic aqueous solution containing salts, nitrates for example, of tetravalent zirconium, pentavalent columbium, yttrium, rare earths in the trivalent state and alkaline earths can be obtained by contacting the aqueous solution with a fluorinated beta diketonc alone or in an organic solvent solution, such as benzene, to form a zirconium chelate compound. When the organic solvent is present themore »« less

SEPARATION PROCESS FOR PROTACTINIUM AND COMPOUNDS THEREOF

Patent Van Winkle, A.

The separation of protactinium from aqueous solutions from its mixtures with thorium, uranium and fission products is described. The process for the separation comprises preparing an ion nitric acid solution containing protactinium in the pentavalent state and contacting the solution with a fluorinated beta diketone, such as trifluoroacetylacetone, either alone or as an organic solvent solution to form a pentavalent protactinium chelate compound. When the organic solvent is present the chelate compound is extracted; otherwise it is separated by filtration.
TRANSURANIC ELEMENT, COMPOSITION THEREOF, AND METHODS FOR PRODUCING SEPARATING AND PURIFYING SAME

Patent Wahl, A.C.

A process of separating plutonium from fission products contained in an aqueous solution is described. Plutonium, in the tri- or tetravalent state, and the fission products are coprecipitated on lanthanum fluoride, lanthanum oxalate, cerous fluoride, cerous phosphate, ceric iodate, zirconyl phosphate, thorium iodate, or thorium fluoride. The precipitate is dissolved in acid, and the plutonium is oxidized to the hexavalent state. The fission products are selectively precipitated on a carrier of the above group but different from that used for the coprecipitation. The plutonium in the solution, after removal of the fission product precipitate, is reduced to at least themore »« less
