Times Cited Count:28 Percentile:71.56(Chemistry, Analytical)An impeccable, high-performance new reagent called alkyl diamide amine (ADAAM) was examined from the viewpoint of mutual separation of Am(III) and Eu(III). ADAAM has three donor atoms, one soft N-donor atom and two hard O-donor atoms, in the central frame. The combination of soft and hard atoms affords a tridentate donor set of atoms that ensures remarkable extractability and selectivity of Am(III) and Eu(III) in highly acidic media.

Uncertainties should be quantitatively assessed in a long-term assessment of radioactive waste disposal. We focus our experimental efforts on parameters that induce major uncertainties in the radionuclide migration analysis and that have not been quantitatively understood. Solubility of radionuclides, diffusion in bentonite buffer material and sorption on rocks were investigated to quantify the uncertainties associated with the parameters and to minimize the uncertainties.

The Japan Atomic Energy Agency is engaged in research and development of the "SELECT process" which is a separation technology for recovering actinides from spent fuel. A highly practical reagent, called HONTA, was developed. In the present study, HONTA was tested for the mutual separation of MA and RE.

A highly practical hybrid-type (soft -donor and hard
-donor) extractant, which is an alkyldiamideamine (ADAAM), was investigated for the minor actinides (MA) separation. The new process aims at recovering americium (Am) alone from high-level waste liquid (HLLW) using an ADAAM. The principle of the process is based on the extraction of Am together with light lanthanides (La, Ce, Pr and Nd) and Mo having close values of distribution ratio, while curium, other lanthanides, and other fission products remain in the aqueous phase. The Am was subsequently selectively stripped from the light lanthanides and Mo using mixed solution (DTPA, malonic acid and ammonium nitrate). As a result, Am was directly separated from the simulated HLLW with high yield (95%).

The Japan Atomic Energy Agency has been studying partitioning and transmutation (P&T) systems. In the P&T, the separation of minor actinides (MAs) from the chemically similar lanthanides is the key step. After MAs are separated from high-level waste, the mutual separation of Am and Cm (Am/Cm separation) can be conducted. Therefore, the removal of the pyrogenic Cm nuclide would reduce the difficulties associated with MA-fuel fabrication. However, Am/Cm separation is very challenging because the two elements have similar chemical and physical properties. Highly practical a new reagent, called ADAAM have been developed. The Am is subsequently selectively stripped from the light lanthanides. As a result, Am was separated with high efficiency.

JAEA continues to carry out the development of the ADS(Double-strata). Mutual separation of Am(III) and Cm(III) is important for the development of the partitioning process. The separation is particularly difficult, because they have the analogous chemical behavior. Alkyl diamide amine (ADAAM), a new high-performance reagent with a simple structure, was examined for the mutual separation of Am(III) and Cu(III). The combination of ADAAM and N,N,N',N'-tetraethyldiglycolamide (TEDGA) as a masking agent shows selectivity for Am(III) over Cm(III) in highly acidic media with separation factors up to 41.

Hexaalkyl-nitrilotriacetamide (NTAamide) was evaluated for the separation of MA(III) and RE(III). NTAamide is a multidentate ligand comprising one soft N-donor atom and three hard O-donor atoms as part of its central frame. This tetradentate set of donor atoms provide selective binding for Am(III) and Nd(III) and yield separation factors of up to 3.7. A continuous liquid liquid extraction and stripping process were performed using Hexaoctyl-NTAamide (HONTA) in n-dodecane as the extractant in a multistage countercurrent mixer-settler extractor. Separation of MA(III) and RE(III) in high yield was demonstrated.

To continue the utilization of the nuclear fission energy, the management of the high-level radioactive waste is one of the most important issues to be solved. Partitioning and Transmutation technology is expected to be effective to mitigate the burden of the HLW disposal by reducing the radiological toxicity and heat generation. JAEA has been conducting R&D on the MA separation process to remove of MA from HLW and supply the recovered MA to the transmutation system such as ADS. The MA separation process contains three steps. For An(III)+RE recovery process, we developed TDdDGA which has very high performance to recover of MA from high level waste. HONTA and ADAAM were developed for An(III)/RE separation process and Am/Cm separation process respectively. All extractants satisfy CHON principle to minimization of the secondary waste from the process. The separation performances of the flowsheets were evaluated by continuous extraction tests using simulated and genuine high level liquid waste.

The authors have developed a new extractant for the separation of minor actinide (MA) from high-level liquid waste (HLLW). Tetra-2-ethylhexyldiglycolamide (TEHDGA) has four branched alkyl chains and has high solubility in diluents. Furthermore, TEHDGA has high selectivity of MA from fission products, high extraction capacity, fast extraction kinetics, fast phase separation, and low cost. TEHDGA is a highly practical extractant for partitioning MA from HLLW.

The Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) has been studying partitioning technology. Recently, JAEA proposed a new liquid-liquid extraction technology called SELECT process to separate minor actinide (MA) from high-level liquid waste for transmutation. In this process, new extractants (HONTA, ADAAM) with highly practical and high extraction ability for MA was developed. A mixed solvent of HONTA and ADAAM was tested for mutual separation of MA and rare earth elements (RE). In this test, separation of MA and RE was achieved with very high yield. Furthermore, Americium (Am) and Curium (Cm) were separated efficiently with high separation factor values.
