In Tokai Reprocessing Plant, the highly active liquid waste derived from a spent fuel reprocessing is vitrified with a Liquid-Fed Ceramic Melter (LFCM) embedded in Tokai Vitrification Facility (TVF). For an LFCM, the viscosity of melted glass is increased by the deposition of oxidation products of platinum group elements (PGE) and the PGE-containing glass tends to settle to the melter's bottom basin even after draining glass out. Removal of the PGE-containing glass is needed to avoid the Joule heating current from being affected by the glass, it requires time-consuming work to remove. For the early accomplishment of vitrifying the waste, Japan Atomic Energy Agency is planning to replace the current melter with the new one in which the amount of PGE sediments would be reduced. In the past design activities for the next melter, several kinds of shapes in regard to the furnace bottom and the strainer were drawn. Among these designs, the one in which the discharge ratio of PGE-containing glass would be as much as or greater than the current melter and which be able to perform similar operational sequences done in the current melter is selected here. Firstly, an operational sequence to produce one canister of vitrified waste is simulated for three melter designs with a furnace bottom shape, using 3D thermal-hydraulic calculations. The computed temperature distribution and its changes are compared among the candidate structures. After discussions about the technical and structural feasibilities of each design, a cone shape with a 45
slope was selected as the bottom shape of the next melter. Secondly, five strainer designs that fit the bottom shape above mentioned are drawn. For each design, the fluid drag and the discharge ratio of relatively high viscosity fluid resting near the bottom are estimated, using steady or unsteady CFD simulation. By draining silicone oil from acrylic furnace models, it was confirmed experimentally that there are no vortices

As analog compounds of DGA (diglycolamide), MIDOA(methylimino-diacetamide) and TDGA(thia-diglycolammide) are used for the extractants of platinum group metals. These extractants can be extracted noble metals and oxyanions, which followed by HSAB theory. The high concentration of these metals can be also extracted by these compounds. The research of metal-complex structures gives the information on the ability and role for complex-formation, which will be useful for the development of novel extractants.

Os has been determined more precisely than before. The Pt was produced as the 
-decay granddaughter of Hg which was produced and separated with the CERN-ISOLDE facility. The reduced -decay width calculated with the present result has provided a new picture of the systematics for the -decay width of neutron-deficient Pt isotopes.

10K in platinum thin films is studied by electrical resistivity measurements. Experimental results are analyzed by using a model which describes the production and selective radiation annealing of defects. For high-energy (100MeV) heavy ion irradiations, radiation annealing process due to electronic excitation is found mainly at the initial stage of irradiation. From the defect accumulation curve and defect recovery spectra, the effective temperature corresponding to the lattice agitation induced by electronic excitation is estimated.

The separation and recovery of PGM is carried out by a hydrometallurgy process mainly based on a solvent extraction method. In recent years, development of alternative solvents for such volatile organic solvents has been advanced. Ionic liquids (IL) has attracted substantial interest in many fields as a green alternative solvent due to their non-volatile, non-flammable, and thermally stable properties. Task-specific ionic liquids (TSIL) that functionalized by incorporating ligating group can give the extraction ability for metal ions. Many extraction systems using IL and TSIL aimed at separating PGM have been reported so far, however there is no extraction system that achieves individual separation of Pd and Pt by one type of TSIL. In this study, imidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide type TSIL incorporating a urea group was synthesized and its extraction ability for Pd and Pt was evaluated from a viewpoint the individual separation of Pd and Pt.

Palladium (Pd) and platinum (Pt) are actively used in the wide fields such as automobile and chemical industries due to its remarkable functionality. Therefore, the efficient recycling from the secondary resources is important to ensure stable supply of Pd and Pt resources. In particular, ionic liquid functionalized by organic synthesis is called Task-specific IL(TSIL), and TSIL would be possible to have an extraction ability and a high IL affinity. In this study, urea-substituted TSIL was designed and synthesized for the purpose of mutual separation of Pd(II) and Pt(IV) and its extraction performance was evaluated. In practice, urea-substituted TSIL selectively extracted Pd(II) at pH 4 and Pt(IV) at pH 1 from Pd(II) and Pt(IV) coexisting aqueous solution. In this presentation, slope analysis, EXAFS, UV-Vis, and FT-IR studies on the extraction mechanism of Pd(II) and Pt(IV) are also reported.

We study the solvent extraction of soft acid metals, e.g., platinum metals, gold and silver from nitric and hydrochloric acids by commercially available organic compounds with low solubility in water. We would like to know some of the physical parameters obtained from DFT calculations can support the experimental results. The present work show that the extractants having S-donor give high extractability for gold.
