Abstract
Model studies on TBP—diluent—aqueous HNO3 extraction systems were performed to establish the mechanism of emulsyfying during the reprocessing of spent reactor fuel with mixtures of TBP solutions. The systems of interest were emulsified under fixed conditions. The rate of separation of the primary emulsion as well as the turbidity of each phase were determined. The experiments were performed on mixtures of pure components of the extraction systems. Emulsion stability was investigated in terms of the influence of such factors as main products of TBP decay, the type of diluents, HNO3 concentration and concentration of TBP in different diluents.
