Popis: | The valence states of neptunium and plutonium in simulated and genuine Chinese high‐level liquid waste (HLLW) have been studied by solvent extraction. A TRPO process has been developed in our laboratory in recent years in which 30% TRPO‐kerosene was used as extractant. This process demonstrates good extraction efficiency for neptunium as well as uranium, plutonium, and americium. A countercurrent solvent extraction experiment with genuine HLLW has been carried out with 16 stages of centrifugal extractors. The results of valence state experiments showed that the neptunium and plutonium were mainly in the tetravalent state respectively. It is not necessary to regulate the valence state of neptunium before HLLW treatment by the Chinese TRPO process. |
