Removal of actinide elements from high level radioactive waste by trialkylphosphine oxide (TRPO). The stripping of actinide elements from loaded organic phase

Abstract

Stripping behaviors of 30% TRPO-kerosene organic phase containing actinide elements in nitric acid, oxalic acid and sodium carbonate solutions were studied. The conditions for stripping actinide elements were given. The 5{approx}6 mol/L nitric acid of concentration can effectively re-extract americium and lanthanide, but third phase would be generated if nitric acid concentration is too high. Two times of stripping with 0.5 mol/L oxalic acid in crossflow can recover more than 99% of neptunium and plutonium, and 5% sodium carbonate can re-extract uranium. The cross contamination in these three groups is very little. A flowsheet of TRPO process for removing actinides from high level waste solution is proposed.
