An extractant, methylimino-bis-${it N,N'}$-dioctylacetamide (MIDOA), was used for the extraction of soft acid metals. It was found that MIDOA can extract not only Cr(VI), Mo(VI), W(VI), Tc(VII) and Re(VII), whose metals can form the oxonium anions due to their high oxidation states, but also other metal cations, like Nb(V), Ta(V) and Pd(II). Analogous compounds, imino-bis-${it N,N'}$-dioctylacetamide (IDOA) and methylimino-bis-${it N,N'}$-di-2-ethylhexylacetamide (MIDEHA), are synthesized and compared for their extractability. It is clear that these extractants have almost same or lower $$D$$ values than those for MIDOA. In order to examine the effect on extractability with different donor atoms, TODGA (${it N,N,N',N'}$-tetraoctyl-diglycolamide) and TDGA (${it N,N,N',N'}$-tetraoctyl-tyiodiglycolamide) having oxygen and sulfur donor are employed. The comparison of their extractabilities suggests that the trend of Pd and Re extraction is N $$>$$ S $$>$$ O and N $$>$$ O $$>$$ S, respectively.

Stability of polyvinylpolypyrrolidone (PVPP), a resin with adsorption selectivity to U(VI) in nitric acid media, against $$gamma$$-ray irradiation has been examined using HNO$$_{3}$$ solutions of various concentrations. As the result, no clear decrease in the capacity was observed for any samples. Or rather, it was found that the capacity increased by approximately 50% for the PVPP slurry irradiated in 6 M HNO$$_{3}$$. The infrared spectroscopic study indicates that PVPP degrades by $$gamma$$-ray irradiation in HNO$$_{3}$$ from the cleavage of the pyrrolidone ring by the addition of oxygen atom originating from HNO$$_{3}$$, followed by the formation of chain monoamides with multiple coordinative atoms by the continuous addition of oxygen, finally leading to the generation of primary-amine type anion exchange resin. It is also indicated that all generated functional groups possess adsorptivity to U(VI) in 3 M HNO$$_{3}$$.

An advanced reprocessing system for spent FBR fuels based on two precipitation processes using pyrrolidone derivatives as precipitants has been developed. Experimental results of precipitation behavior of U, Pu and other elements, the heat- and radiation-resistance of precipitants, the thermal decomposition properties of precipitates showed that N-n-butyl-2-pyrrolidone and N-neopentyl-2-pyrrolidone are the appropriate precipitants for the first and second precipitation steps, respectively. From the engineering investigation, We confirmed that the precipitation and the filtration can be done efficiently using the engineering scale equipment and that the fuel pellets are directly prepared by the calcination of the precipitates. On the basis of these results, we evaluated that the proposed system is expected to be one of candidates of the future reprocessing systems for spent FBR fuels.

The precipitation ability of 1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidone (DMI) to U(VI) and U(IV) was examined using nitric acid solutions. While DMI precipitated U(VI) from 3 M nitric acid, no precipitate was observed in the solution containing 0.15 M U(IV) and 3 M nitric acid by adding DMI at the ratio of [DMI]/[U(IV)]=5. This indicates that the selectivity of DMI to U(VI) than U(IV). In spite of the excellent selectivity to U(VI), DMI has a disadvantage on the stability in nitric acid, because gradual acid hydrolysis of DMI is inevitable due to the nature of the chemical structure. Experiments on the stability of DMI in $$gamma$$-ray irradiation and heating in nitric acid solutions showed that the stability is strongly affected by the concentration of nitric acid and that DMI may be applicable in nitric acid solutions up to ca. 2 M.

Adsorptivity of polyvinylpolypyrrolidone (PVPP) to various metal ions was examined as a part of the development of resins with selectivity to U(VI) in nitric acid media. It was found that PVPP has a strong adsorptivity to U(VI) in wide concentration range of nitric acid. The mechanism of U(VI) adsorption by PVPP was discussed by results of Scatchard plot analysis and infrared spectroscopic analysis. Furthermore, it was found that fission productions except for Re(VII) as the simulant of Tc(VII) and Pd(II) are not adsorbed on to PVPP and that Pd(II) and Re(VII) species are weakly adsorbed in the lower concentration ranges of nitric acid, where the adsorption rates of Pd(II) are extremely slower than those of U(VI). These results indicate that U(VI) can be separated from other metal ions by PVPP.

As a part of the development of a novel reprocessing system for spent FBR fuels based on the precipitation method, influence of concentrations of HNO$$_{3}$$ on the stability by $$gamma$$-ray irradiation was examined for $$N$$-$$n$$-butyl-2-pyrrolidone (NBP), a candidate precipitant for the first precipitation step for selectively precipitating U(VI). The residual ratios of the samples for HNO$$_{3}$$ solutions up to 3 M were found to be decreased identically, where ca. 20% of NBP was degraded after the irradiation of 1 MGy. It was found that the degradation of the samples of 6 M HNO$$_{3}$$ is more distinguished, where ca. 30% was degraded after the irradiation of 0.1 MGy. As the result of the investigation of the degradation mechanism of NBP, it was revealed that the degradation started from the cleavage of the pyrrolidone ring of NBP by the addition of oxygen atom, followed by the formation of chain monoamides and C4 compounds by the continuous addition of oxygen, leading to the generation of oxalic acid.

A reprocessing system for spent FBR fuels based on the two precipitation processes has been proposed. In this system, first only U(VI) species are precipitated using pyrrolidone derivatives (NRP) with low hydrophobicity and donicity, and secondly residual U(VI) and Pu(IV, VI) are precipitated simultaneously using pyrrolidone derivative with high precipitation ability. In order to develop such a reprocessing method, behavior of uranyl ions in HNO$$_{3}$$ has been studied using various novel NRP. In this presentation, recent advances on precipitation behavior and of uranyl ions and calcination of U(VI)-NRP will be introduced.

Recovery of the precipitant by evaporation of the precipitates of U(VI) with pyrrolidone derivatives was investigated for the development of an advanced reprocessing system for spent FBR fuels based only on precipitation method. It was found that the U(VI) precipitate with N-n-butyl-2-pyrrolidone (NBP) melted at about 100$$^{circ}$$C and the bubble formation was observed at 140 - 150$$^{circ}$$C. Most of the recovered materials by cooling the evaporated fraction was NBP, and therefore, it is expected to recover the precipitant without degradation by this methods.

We have been developing an advanced reprocessing system for spent FBR fuels based on precipitation method using pyrrolidone derivatives. The present study deals with recovery of residual U(VI) from high-level liquid waste by adsorption with polyvinylpolypyrrolidone (PVPP) after the main precipitation step. Batch experiments showed the high distribution coefficient (Kd) for U(VI) in the wide range of nitric acid concentration and higher Kd at lower nitric acid concentration. Among fission product elements, only Pd(II) was adsorbed weekly, but in the column experiment Pd was separated from U(VI) by washing the adsorbent with 3M nitric acid.

We have been developing an advanced reprocessing system for spent FBR fuels based on precipitation method using pyrrolidone derivatives. In the present study, the durability of N-n-butyl-2-pyrrolidone (NBP) against $$gamma$$-irradiation and heat and the mechanism of degradation were examined in the various conditions. NBP is the most promising candidate as the precipitant for the first step in which U is selectively separated. The results showed that many kinds of multi-functional degradation products were formed by irradiation and heating and therefore that the influence of these degradation products on the following step in the reprocessing system should be investigated in detail.

We have been developing an advanced reprocessing system for spent FBR fuels based on precipitation method using pyrrolidone derivatives. In the present study, the effects of addition of masking agent for Pu(IV) in the first selective U precipitation step were investigated to suppress the Pu co-precipitation using U(IV) as a substitute for Pu(IV). The results showed that amide compounds such as N, N-dimethyl-acetamide have relatively high masking ability.

In the novel reprocessing system under development for spent FBR fuels based on the precipitation method, U and Pu of very low concentrations remain in the supernatant after almost all U and Pu in the dissolvent solution are separated by precipitation. The remaining U and Pu are supposed to be removed by an adsorption method using polyvinylpolypyrrolidone (PVPP) which is insoluble in water. In this study, stability of PVPP in HNO$$_{3}$$ solutions under $$gamma$$-ray irradiation was investigated. As the result, remarkable decreases in the capacity were not found in all samples. Or rather, the capacity was found to be increased for the sample irradiated in 6M HNO$$_{3}$$ for 0.90 MGy. These facts revealed that PVPP maintains the adsorptivity to U(VI) under various concentrations of HNO$$_{3}$$ for 10 days of operation under $$gamma$$-ray irradiation.

We have been developing an advanced reprocessing system for spent FBR fuels based on precipitation method using pyrrolidone derivatives. In the present study, the recovery of precipitant from the precipitate through vaporization by heating was investigated using N-n-butyl-2-pyrrolidone (NBP) and N-n-neopentyl-2-pyrrolidone (NNpP) as precipitants. Experimental results showed that the most of the precipitants can be recovered without degradation and therefore the precipitants can be reused.

We have been developing an advanced reprocessing system for spent FBR fuels based on precipitation method using pyrrolidone derivatives. In the present study, the decomposition of residual precipitants in the solution after precipitation was examined by $$gamma$$-ray irradiation of 9M nitric acid solution containing N-n-butyl-2-pyrrolidone (NBP) which would be used in the first selective U precipitation step. We found that NBP can be easily decomposed by $$gamma$$-ray but oxalic acid, acetic acid and other products by the decomposition remain in the solution. Further study is required for the complete decomposition of organic reagents.
