MIGRATION STUDIES OF THORIUM,URANIUM AND PLUTONIUM IN SALT ENVIRONMENTYe Yuxing(China Institute of Atomic Energy,P.O.Box 275(26),Beijing 102413)G.Marx;Ch.Keiling(Free university,Berlin,Germany)Abstract:The migration behaviour of Th,U and Pu in passing through column filled with NaCl or natural rock salt(Va 3γ)is investigated.The experimental results show that the recovery of Th and U depends strongly upon the pH value.When pH≥3,85% of thorium is retarded on the NaCl colurnn,When pH≤2 or pH≥8,the recovery of U(that passing through NaCl column)is>84%;when pH=6,the recovery of U is the lowest(9%).The influence of organic complexant on the migration behviour of U and Pu is carried out using the column filled with NaCl or Na3γ.Most of the uranium retarded in the column filled with Na3γis located in the bottom zone.Keywords:Thorium Uranium Plutonium Migration Organic complexant
