Abstract

In the context of management of the wastes arising from the reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel, studies have been conducted into the solvent extraction kinetics of lanthanide fission products by TODGA and the effects of solvent phase acidity on the effectiveness of this organic extractant molecule. In this study we observe an increase in organic phase viscosity increasing acidity and, potentially by consequence, that the rate of cerium extraction is summarily decreased.
