Title: Irradiation and isolation of fission products from uranium metal–organic frameworks

Abstract

Typical fission product formation experiments utilize metal or oxide target materials that must be dissolved prior to product separation. In this study, we report here a novel study using metal–organic frameworks for recovery of fission products into acidic media. We further show that the frameworks are largely preserved, such that this bulk target material could be retained for additional irradiations or characterizations. Through this approach, fission products can be separated from the actinide-based metal–organic framework using 0.01 M HNO₃ without the need to dissolve the framework itself, reducing the amount of acidic waste. Extraction yields of four frameworks with varying pore sizes are compared. In conclusion, the results suggest that it may be possible to use porous frameworks as target materials for the extraction of select fission products.

Synthesis of Actinide Materials for the Study of Basic Actinide Science and Rapid Separation of Fission Products

Thesis/Dissertation Dorhout, Jacquelyn Marie

This dissertation covers several distinct projects relating to the fields of nuclear forensics and basic actinide science. Post-detonation nuclear forensics, in particular, the study of fission products resulting from a nuclear device to determine device attributes and information, often depends on the comparison of fission products to a library of known ratios. The expansion of this library is imperative as technology advances. Rapid separation of fission products from a target material, without the need to dissolve the target, is an important technique to develop to improve the library and provide a means to develop samples and standards for testing separations.more »« less

A UO₂-based salt target for rapid isolation of fission products

Journal Article Dorhout, Jacquelyn Marie ; Wilkerson, Marianne Perry ; Czerwinski, Kenneth R. - Journal of Radioanalytical and Nuclear Chemistry

Here, we report here an initial isolation study based upon the use of small uranium oxide particles dispersed in a soluble salt matrix to evaluate the relative recovery of fission products into acidic media. We further show that the macrostructures of the uranium microparticles are largely preserved, such that the bulk target material could be retained for additional irradiations or characterizations. Through this approach, fission products can be separated from the actinide-based target using low molarities of acid without the need to dissolve the actinide itself, reducing the amount of acidic waste. Extraction yields using two molarities of HCl andmore » HNO₃ are compared.« less

Rational Construction of Porous Metal–Organic Frameworks for Uranium(VI) Extraction: The Strong Periodic Tendency with a Metal Node

Journal Article Zhang, Zhi-Hui ; Lan, Jian-Hui ; Yuan, Li-Yong ; ... - ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces

Although metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been reported as important porous materials for the potential utility in metal ion separation, coordinating the functionality, structure, and component of MOFs remains a great challenge. Herein, a series of anionic rare earth MOFs (RE-MOFs) were synthesized via a solvothermal template reaction and for the first time explored for uranium(VI) capture from an acidic medium. The unusually high extraction capacity of UO2₂⁺ (e.g., 538 mg U per g of Y-MOF) was achieved through ion-exchange with the concomitant release of Me₂NH₂⁺, during which the uranium(VI) extraction in the series of isostructural RE-MOFs was found to bemore »« less

Baseline TRUEX Flowsheet Development for the Removal of the Actinides from Dissolved INTEC Calcine Using Centrifugal Contactors

Technical Report Brewer, K N ; Herbst, R S ; Law, J D

The TRansUranic EXtraction process (TRUEX) is being evaluated for the treatment of radioactive wastes stored at the Idaho Nuclear Technologies and Engineering Center (INTEC, formerly the Idaho Chemical Processing Plant, ICPP). The treated wastes resulting from actinide removal by the TRUEX process and subsequent fission product separation processes are anticipated to be grouted and disposed as non-TRU low-level wastes (LLW). The resulting concentrated streams containing the TRUs and fission products will be combined, vitrified and disposed of as high-level waste (HLW).
