Title: Kinetics of Ion Exchange of Zr/Sn(IV) Phosphonate–Phosphate Hybrid Materials for Separation of Lanthanides from Oxidized Actinides

Journal Article · · Solvent Extraction and Ion Exchange

The kinetics of ion exchange of Zr/Sn(IV) phosphonate-phosphate hybrid ion exchange materials have been studied with several types of ions of specific interest to nuclear fuel recycling including Nd3+ at 4.5 and 43 mM and NpO2+ at 2.9 mM spanning multiple HNO3 concentrations. In most cases the equilibrium was reached in less than 12 h. The ion exchange behavior followed that of pseudo first-order adsorption with rates ranging from 0.430–4.10 h-1 and 0.290–0.435 h-1 for Nd3+ and NpO2+, respectively. A separation with both Nd3+ and NpO2+ present was performed, resulting in separation factors of 1.9–12, 1.7–6.6, and 2.0–5.7 at 1×10-1, 1×10-2, and 1×10-3 M HNO3, respectively.
