Abstract:
The effects of HDBP and H
2MBP on the stripping of plutonium(Ⅳ) by U(Ⅳ)-N
2H
4 and AHA were studied. Several experiments were carried out to investigate the effects of contact time, phase ratio(o∶a), reductant concentration, HNO
3 concentration, hydrazine concentration, HDBP and H
2MBP concentrations on the stripping of Pu(Ⅳ). The results show that U(Ⅳ) has a strong ability of stripping Pu(Ⅳ), reducing the phase ratio(o∶a), concentration of HNO
3 and hydrazine is conducive to the stripping of Pu(Ⅳ), and U(Ⅳ) can quickly and effectively destroy the complexation of HDBP and H
2MBP with Pu(Ⅳ), then strip Pu(Ⅳ) to the aqueous phase. The influence of HDBP and H
2MBP on the complexation and stripping of Pu(Ⅳ) can be effectively reduced by reducing the acidity, prolonging the contact time and increasing the concentration of AHA.
