Influence of nitric acid and nitrous acid on oxidation and extraction of neptunium with double scrub flow sheet in simplified solvent extraction process

Nakahara, Masaumi; Koma, Yoshikazu

The influence of the HNO $_{3}$ concentration in the feed and scrubbing solutions on the behavior of Np was evaluated experimentally and found to be co-extracted into the tri--butylphosphate with U and Pu. Almost all the Np in a 4.9 mol/dm $^{3}$ HNO $_{3}$ feed solution was recovered with U and Pu, based on the experimental flow sheet with double scrubbing solutions of 9 and 1 mol/dm $^{3}$ HNO $_{3}$ . The experimental results showed a large contribution from the HNO $_{3}$ concentration in the feed solution and at the extraction section to Np(V) oxidation. On the other hand, calculation results showed that high HNO $_{2}$ concentrations in the feed solution tended to leak Np into the raffinate.
