Abstract:
The property of carbonyl compounds in the extraction system of 30%TBP-kerosene-HNO
3 that irradiated using
238Pu α-sources were determined by spectrophotometry. And effects of different backextractant, wash process and plutonium concentration were investigated. Results show that the concentration of carbonyl compounds increases with absorbed dose and dose rate, when absorbed dose is 5×10
5 Gy and dose rate is 73.7 Gy/min, the concentration of carbonyl compounds obtains to 0.039 mol/L. When the radiation dose is less than 10
5 Gy, the concentration of carbonyl compounds in irradiated system by α irradiation is close to by γ irradiation. But when the radiation dose is more than 10
5 Gy, the concentration of carbonyl compounds in system by α irradiation increases more rapid than by γ irradiation.
