Separation Np from Pu based on reduction-stripping by using methyl hydrazine as reductant
Extraction and separation of neptunium is one of the focused research topics in the field of reprocessing. As an organic salting-free reductant
because of its reduction rate differences between Np(Ⅵ) and Pu(Ⅳ)
methyl hydrazine (MMH) has the potential to separate Np/Pu.
Purpose
2
In this study
the feasibility of applying MMH to reductive stripping separate Np/Pu was evaluated.
Methods
2
The reductive back-extraction dynamics of Np(Ⅵ) and Pu(Ⅳ) by MMH were investigated using a single-stage extraction device.
Results
2
By investigating the effects of the concentration for nitric acid and methyl hydrazine nitrate
as well as reaction temperature on the reductive stripping process
the Np(Ⅵ) and Pu(Ⅳ) stripping kinetics equation and their apparent activation energy were determined.
Conclusion
2
Further
the half reaction time of reductive stripping Np(Ⅵ) and Pu(Ⅳ) with hydrazine nitrate can be obtained by means of kinetics equation
and a preliminary exploration for Np(Ⅵ)/Pu(Ⅳ) separation was carried out.
