Abstract
Conceptual flow-sheets and laboratory works have been carried out recently in Fontenay-aux-Roses to gain insight into the partitioning of the actinides contained in various wastes, including the HLLW. The flow-sheets designed to separate the HLLW actinides include two main steps: the first is the removal of the actinide (VI), (IV), (III) from the acidic effluent of the first PUREX process extraction cycle; the second is the separation of the trivalent lanthanides from the trivalent actinides which were co-extracted with the actinides in the first step. N,N`-tetraalkylpropanediamide will be used in the first step. The properties and the advantages-disadvantages of these extractants will be discussed. For the trivalent actinide-lanthanide group separation two ways are explored simultaneously. The first one is a research of new extractants for the group separation of the 4f-5f trivalent ions. Several extraction systems are candidates for this separation; the actinides having an higher affinity for the ligands bearing donor atoms softer than oxygen. The point of the subject will be given. The second way is the separation of Am from the trivalent lanthanides after Am(IV) is protected by unsaturated phosphotungstates and can be extracted as phosphotungstate by primary or secondary amine. The work which must be achieved
