Potentiometric Sensor for Real-Time Monitoring of Multivalent Ion Concentrations in Molten Salt

Conference Peter A. Zink ; Jan-Fong Jue ; Brenda E. Serrano ; ...

Electrorefining of spent metallic nuclear fuel in high temperature molten salt systems is a core technology in pyroprocessing, which in turn plays a critical role in the development of advanced fuel cycle technologies. In electrorefining, spent nuclear fuel is treated electrochemically in order to effect separations between uranium, noble metals, and active metals, which include the transuranics. The accumulation of active metals in a lithium chloride-potassium chloride (LiCl-KCl) eutectic molten salt electrolyte occurs at the expense of the UCl3-oxidant concentration in the electrolyte, which must be periodically replenished. Our interests lie with the accumulation of active metals in the moltenmore »« less

Thermodynamic properties for rare earths and americium in pyropartitioning process solvents

Journal Article Fusselman, S.P. ; Roy, J.J. ; Grimmett, D.L. - Journal of the Electrochemical Society

The design of a molten metal-molten salt based chemical and electrochemical process for separation of actinides from plutonium-uranium extraction waste requires a consistent set of thermodynamic properties for the actinides and rare earths present in nuclear waste. Standard potential data for Y, La, Ce, Pr, and Gd in molten LiCl-KCl were obtained. Americium data obtained were standard potentials in molten LiCl-KCl and activity coefficients for Cd and Bi. Data were obtained between 400 and 500 C. Results for the rare earth chlorides using an improved experimental technique were consistent with theory, with standard free energy of formation values somewhat moremore »« less

Potentiometric Sensor for Real-Time Remote Surveillance of Actinides in Molten Salts

Conference Natalie J. Gese ; Jan-Fong Jue ; Brenda E. Serrano ; ...

A potentiometric sensor is being developed at the Idaho National Laboratory for real-time remote surveillance of actinides during electrorefining of spent nuclear fuel. During electrorefining, fuel in metallic form is oxidized at the anode while refined uranium metal is reduced at the cathode in a high temperature electrochemical cell containing LiCl-KCl-UCl3 electrolyte. Actinides present in the fuel chemically react with UCl3 and form stable metal chlorides that accumulate in the electrolyte. This sensor will be used for process control and safeguarding of activities in the electrorefiner by monitoring the concentrations of actinides in the electrolyte. The work presented focuses onmore »« less

Development of pyrometallurgical partitioning of actinides from high-level radioactive waste using a reductive extraction step

Journal Article Hijikata, Takatoshi ; Sakata, Masahiro ; Miyashiro, Hajime ; ... - Nuclear Technology

High-level radioactive waste (HLW) from reprocessing (Purex) light water reactor spent fuel contains a small number of long-lived nuclides, mainly actinide elements, having half-lives of longer than one million years. If actinide elements could be separated from HLW and transmuted to short-lived nuclides, not only would waste management be much simpler but also public support for nuclear power generation might be easier to obtain. Central Research Institute of Electric Power Industry (CRIEPI), Japan, has proposed a pyrometallurgical process to separate actinides from HLW. When the solvent used in the Purex process is reclaimed by NaCO{sub 3} and NaOH, a wastemore »« less
ELECTROCHEMISTRY OF MOLTEN SALTS. Period Covered: June 1, 1954 to June 1, 1956

Technical Report Roland, E.H. ; Pound, G.M.

A new back-emf method for measuring the thermodynamic emf of molten salt cells of the type M/MCl/sub 2/ in molten salt solvent/Cl/sub 2/ is presented. Decomposition potentials are measured in the course of the thermodynamic emf determination. The systems PbCl/sub 2/-ZrCl/sub 2/, LiCl-KCl eutectic, LiCl-KCl- NdCl/sub 3/, MgCl/sub 2/ in LiClKCl and NaCl, SnCl/sub 2/, KCl, and PbCl/sub 2/, and ZnCl/sub 2/ in LiClKCl eutectic were studied. The thermodynamic emf's obtained by the back-emf method are in good agreement with values calculated from independent thermochemical data. Thus Raoult's law is thought to apply in these simple systems to within amore »« less
