3価アクチノイドとランタノイドの実用的な分離法の開発に向けて、ピリジンアミドを用いる抽出クロマト法を検討した。カラム分離操作中における硝酸接触や線照射による吸着剤の性能低下は非常に小さいことが確かめられた。また、カラム分離の際の最適条件として溶離液は5M硝酸、溶離速度は0.1mL/minと決定した。

Toward the development of a practical separation method for trivalent actinides and lanthanides, we used extraction chromatography with alkyl-pyridinedicarboxyamides as the extractant. The results confirmed that the performance degradation of the adsorbent caused by contact with HNO and/or irradiation with rays would be very small during the operation of column chromatography. The optimal conditions for the column separation were also determined: eluent, 5M HNO; flow rate, 0.1 mL/min.
