A new collaborative research project for systematic treatments of radioactive liquid wastes containing various reagents generating in nuclear facilities was started from 2018 initiated by Japan Atomic Energy Agency. The project was named as STRAD (Systematic Treatments of RAdioactive liquid wastes for Decommissioning) project. Tentative targets to be studied under the project are aqueous and organic liquid wastes which have been generated by experiments and analyses in a reprocessing experimental laboratory of JAEA. Currently fundamental studies for treatments of the liquid wastes with complicated compositions are underway. In the STRAD project, process flow for treatment of ammonium ion involved in aqueous waste was designed though the inactive experiments, and decomposition of ammonium ion using catalysis will be carried out soon. Adsorbents for recovery of U and Pu from spent solvent were also developed. Demonstration experiments on genuine spent solvent is under planning.

Single porous silica microparticles coated with styrene-divinylbenzene polymer (SDB) impregnated with octyl(phenyl)-N,N-diisobutylcarbamoylmethylphosphine oxide (CMPO) were injected into an aqueous 3 mol/L nitric acid solution containing trivalent lanthanide (Ln(III)), as a high-level liquid waste model, using the microcapillary manipulation-injection technique; and the extraction rate of Ln(III), as an Ln(III)-CMPO complex, into the single microparticles was measured by luminescence microspectroscopy. The extraction rate significantly depended on the Ln(III), CMPO, or NO
concentration, and was analyzed in terms of diffusion in the pores of the microparticles and complex formation of Ln(III). The results indicated that the rate-determining step in Ln(III) extraction was the diffusion in the pore solution of the microparticles.

Ion-beam induced luminescence (IBIL) analysis on MA recovery adsorbent was performed to give chemical states of complexes formed in the adsorbent as fundamental information for process design, and EXAFS analysis was also carried out to support discussions. The IBIL spectra of the binary extractants system seemed to be superposition of individual ones, however it has also original peaks. As intensities of those peaks rapidly decreased with iteration time of measurements and the original peaks were not observed for the adsorbent without charging Eu(III), they were attributed to complexes of Eu(III) with organic compounds. Contributions of CMPO and HDEHP extractants for Eu(III) extraction must be not only individual ones but also cooperative.

STRADプロジェクトの一環として、RO膜装置を用いた放射性廃液の濃縮試験を実施した。溶液中のアンモニウムイオンが濃縮され、廃液中の濃度を目標値である100ppmより低下させることに成功した。水相及び有機相廃液の固化試験も合わせて実施し、それぞれセメント又は凝固剤を添加することで固化することに成功した。しかし長期保管の観点からは添加材の最適化が必要であることが分かった。

In order to optimize operability of the adsorbents in the extraction chromatography system and to enhance the performance of the adsorbent, CMPO/SiO-P adsorbents with various pore and particle sizes were prepared, and characteristics of the adsorbents were evaluated through distribution coefficient, adsorption isotherm, adsorption rate, and breakthrough/elution behavior. Adsorption capacity was dominated not by the structure of the adsorbent but by amount of the extractant impregnated. The adsorbent with the largest pore size were revealed to show quick elution with short tail. Enlargement in the pore size must be one of the most effective improvements of the adsorbents to enhance the adsorption/elution performance. Adsorbent with particle size of more than 200 
m formed channeling or voids inside the bed. They are suspected to lead slow adsorption/elution behavior, and smaller adsorbents must be desirable in the respect of performance of the column.

Chemical Processing Facility of Japan Atomic Energy Agency is a basic research field for advanced back-end technology developments with using actual high-level radioactive materials. Most of them were treated properly and stored in the liquid waste vessel, but some were not treated and remained at the experimental space as a kind of legacy nuclear waste, which we must treat in safety and dispose if we continue research activities in the facility. Under this circumstance, we launched a collaborative research project called the STRAD project, which stands for Systematic Treatment of Radioactive liquid waste for Decommissioning, in order to develop the treatment processes for wastes of the nuclear research facility. In this project, decomposition methods of certain chemicals, which have been directly solidified without safety pretreatment but may cause a troublesome phenomenon, is developing and a prospect that it will be able to decompose in the facility by simple method. And solidification of aqueous or organic liquid wastes after the decomposition has been studied by adding cement or coagulants. Furthermore, we treated experimental tools of various materials with making an effort to stabilize and to compact them before the package into the waste container. It is expected to decrease the number of transportation of the solid waste and widen the operation space. The project is expected to contribute beneficial waste management outcome that can be shared world widely.

Chemical compounds containing scandium (Sc) are widely applied to various fields such as catalysts, alloys, lamps and etc. Sc is found in mineral ore, and it is necessary to develop efficient Sc separation and recovery technology for the industrial applications. So far, solvent extraction based processes were proposed as promising Sc recovery procedures. Our group has found that hexaoctyl nitrilotriacetic acid triamide (HONTA) has strong affinity to Sc. In this study, applicability of the extraction chromatography technology for the selective Sc recovery was experimentally evaluated through batch-wise adsorption/elution studies and column separation experiments.

塩化物イオン(Cl)を含む放射性廃液は、乾式再処理のプロセス制御における化学分析によって生成される。この廃液を海洋に排出するためには、Clを分離してU, Puを回収する必要がある。本研究では、AgCl沈殿法と抽出クロマトグラフィー法を組み合わせてClを分離し、U, Puを回収した。沈殿試験の結果、UおよびPuが試験後に共沈しないことが分かった。固相抽出試験の結果、95%のPuが液体廃棄物から回収されたことがわかった。Uの濃度が十分でないため、Uについての
放射能を分析することは困難であった。これらの結果は、これらのプロセスが廃液を海に排出する可能性を有することを示した。

パーセンタイル：100(Instruments & Instrumentation)Extraction chromatography is one of the most promising technology for minor actinide (MA(III): Am and Cm) recovery from high level liquid waste generated in the reprocessing. A brand-new adsorbent proposed by our group are expected to achieve more efficient MA(III) recovery than usual procedure. Fundamental MA(III) adsorption/elution performances of the adsorbents have been demonstrated. An appropriate washing process of lanthanides (Ln(III)) is necessary to be established to design a process flow. In this study, chemical state and distribution of Eu inside the adsorbent before and after contacting with candidate eluents for MA(III) or Ln(III) were evaluated by EXAFS measurements and micro-PIXE analysis, respectively. Two-dimensional PIXE images showed that adsorbed Eu and residual Eu after contacting with the eluents for MA(III) were uniformly distributed on the particle. However, EXAFS oscillation revealed that local structure around Eu drastically changes by the contact. Those results suggest that the Eu remained inside the particle without distinct shift and that they form various complexes with extractants in the particle.

パーセンタイル：100(Instruments & Instrumentation)Molybdenum and zirconium obstruct the efficient recovery of minor actinides (MA(III): Am(III) and Cm(III)) by extraction chromatography; hence, the removal of these elements prior to MA(III) recovery is desirable. The use of an adsorbent impregnated with bis(2-ethylhexyl) hydrogen phosphate (HDEHP) for Mo and Zr decontamination was evaluated in this report. The adsorption/elution and column separation experiments showed that Mo and Zr in the simulated HLLW were selectively adsorbed on the particles, and that Mo was eluted by HO. EXAFS analysis and SAXS patterns of the adsorbent containing Zr revealed that the Zr-HDEHP complex had a crystal-like periodic structure similar to the structure of the precipitate produced in the solvent extraction system. Micro-PIXE analysis revealed that distribution of the residual Zr on the adsorbent was uniform.

Clogging of the extraction chromatography column caused by inflow of insoluble residue into the bed possible to lead accumulation of decay heat and explosive gas inside the bed. Behavior of small particle is necessary to be investigated to prevent hazardous events. In this study, influence of fine particles contained in the feed solution on the clogging and on separation performance of the bed were evaluated by laboratory scale experiments. Discharging operation of the simulated particles from the bed was experimentally demonstrated using an engineering scale system. The particles were accumulated on top of the bed and hardly come inside the bed. Backwashing operation was effective to discharge a part of the accumulated powder. Supplying water into the column with normal flow rate condition was possible after the short time backwashing operation. Backwashing with cold water as a normal operation must be one of the most appropriate countermeasures for preventing from the clogging.

被引用回数：2 パーセンタイル：57.25(Instruments & Instrumentation)The cross-sectional distribution of neodymium (Nd) simulating minor actinides (MA) in a minute globular adsorbent of less than 50 m in diameter was measured using PIXE (particle induced X-ray emission)-CT (computed tomography) with a 3-MeV proton microbeam for the investigation of residual MA in extraction chromatography of spent fast reactor fuel. The measurement area was 100 
100 m
corresponding to 128 128 pixels of projection images. The adsorbent target was placed on an automatic rotation stage with 9
step. Forty projections of the adsorbent were finally measured, and image reconstruction was carried out by the modified ML-EM (maximum likelihood expectation maximization) method. As a result, the cross-sectional distribution of Nd in the adsorbent was successfully observed, and it was first revealed that Nd remained in the region corresponding to internal cavities of the adsorbent even after an elution process. This fact implies that the internal structure of the adsorbent must be modified for the improvement of the recovery rate of MA.
