Title: AMINE EXTRACTION OF PLUTONIUM FROM NITRIC ACID SOLUTIONS LOADING AND STRIPPING EXPERIMENTS

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/4093145· OSTI ID:4093145

Information is presented on a suitable amine processing system for plutonium nitrate. Experiments with concentrated plutonium nitrate solutions show that trilaurylamine (TLA) - xylene solvent systems did not form a second organic phase. Experiments are also reported with tri-noctylamine (TnOA)-xylene and TLA-Amsco - octyl alcohol. Two organic phases appear in both these systems at high plutonium nitrate concentrations. Data are tabulated from loading and stripping experiments. (J.R.D.)
