Recovery of actinides from their dioxides using supercritical CO2 containing the adduct of tributyl phosphate with nitric acid

  • Published:
Radiochemistry Aims and scope

Abstract

Supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) containing TBP-HNO3 adduct effectively recovers actinides from solid solutions of their oxides. The efficiency and mechanism of recovery of actinides from oxides are similar both for the adduct dissolved in SC-CO2 and for neat TBP-HNO adduct. SC-CO2 acts as a diluent which, after transportation of the recovered actinide complexes with TBP-HNO3 adduct, can be removed from the system or, if necessary, recycled.
