摘要
Reduction kinetics of Pu(IV) by N,N-dimethylhydrazine (NNDMH) were studied by spectrophotometry, and the reduction rate equation in 3M (mol/dm(3)) nitric acid was obtained. The reduction properties of NNDMH for U(VI), Np(VI), and Pu(IV) was studied in the mixture solution of trin-butylphosphate diluted to 30 vol.% by n-dodecane (30% TBP) and 3M nitric acid. It was confirmed that NNDMH selectively reduce Np(VI) to Np(V) without affecting the valences of U(VI) and Pu(IV) in a few minutes. Numerical simulation indicated that 99.9% of Np was separated from U and Pu applying NNDMH for a mixer-settler.
