摘要
The solvent extraction behavior of minor nuclides such as neptunium and technetium in a current PUREX process and an advanced PUREX process (PARC process) were studied by chemical flow sheet experiments using spent nuclear fuels. The uranium, plutonium, neptunium and technetium fractions distributed in the products and raffinates of the PARC process showed that n-butyraldehyde was an effective reductant of neptunium(VI) in the presence of uranium(VI) and plutonium(IV). It was also found that scrubbing with high acid concentration was effective for technetium separation.
