We developed a hybrid MA(III) recovery process combining MA(III)+Ln(III) co-recovery flowsheet by solvent extraction with TBP and MA(III)/Ln(III) separation flowsheet by simulated moving bed chromatography using HONTA impregnated adsorbents with large particle size porous silica support.

In this study, we investigated the adsorption characteristics of simulated nuclides of adsorbents carrying various NTA amide extracts. From the results of this test, It has become clear that HONTA-impregnated adsorbent showed a high adsorption distribution coefficient with respect to Ln (III) at a nitric acid concentration of 10
- 10
M. It has also revealed that all elements quickly reached adsorption equilibrium. In addition, the elution of the extractant and Sty / DVB was not occurred from the results of the extractant elution test from the impregnated adsorbent. We discuss the applicability of the extraction chromatography method using various NTA adsorbents.

Two types of adsorbents were, respectively, prepared by impregnating nitrilotriacetamides (NTAamides) of HONTA and TOD2EHNTA in silica beads, and their adsorption properties for fission products (FPs), trivalent lanthanides (Ln(III)), and trivalent minor actinides (MA(III)) were clarified by single-stage batch experiments. Based on the results of the batch experiments, column experiments using HONTA adsorbents were performed by setting the nitric acid concentration and the flow rate of the eluents as parameters, and adsorption and elution behaviors of FPs, Ln(III) and MA(III) were evaluated.

The Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) has been studying partitioning and transmutation (P&T) systems. In P&T, JAEA proposed a novel hydrometallurgical process called "SELECT (Solvent Extraction from Liquid waste using Extractants of CHON-type for Transmutation) process". In the process, the separation of minor actinide (MA) from the chemically similar Rare earth elements (RE) is the key step. New acidic amide-type extractants, called TONAADA (Tetraoctyl nitriloacetic acid diacetamide) have been developed by JAEA. In this study, solvent extraction tests were performed using TONAADA, THNAADA (hexyl-type), and B-TONAADA (branched side chain type). As a result, the separation of MA from the nitric acid solution was achieved with high separation factor.

The Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) has been studying partitioning and transmutation (P&T) systems. In P&T, JAEA proposed a novel hydrometallurgical process called "SELECT (Solvent Extraction from Liquid waste using Extractants of CHON-type for Transmutation) process" for nuclear fuel reprocessing and minor actinides (MA) separation. In this study, a new MA separation method was investigated to further improve the efficiency of the SELECT process. Batch tests were conducted in a mixed solvent system using the acidic amide-type extractants nitrilotriacetic acid diacetamide with branched side chains (B-TONAADA) and alkyl diamidoamine (ADAAM). As a result, we found an efficient method for separating only americium (Am) from an aqueous nitric acid solution containing MA and rare earth elements by adjusting nitric acid concentration.

To reduce volume and radiotoxicity of high-level radioactive waste, JAEA has been developing a separation process called "SELECT" (Solvent Extraction from Liquid-waste using Extractants of CHON-type for Transmutation) for recovering minor actinides (MA) from high-level radioactive liquid-waste. In this study, the applicability of an acidic diamide-type extractant Branched-TetraOctylNitriloAceticAcidDiAmide (B-TONAADA) was investigated with a view to improving the efficiency of MA/Rare Earth Elements (RE) separation in SELECT process. As a results of extraction tests performed with different nitric acid concentrations, specific changes were observed in the lanthanide patterns of distribution ratios, and the distribution ratios of MA were higher than those of RE over a wide range of nitric acid concentrations.

The Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) has been studying partitioning and transmutation systems (P&T). In P&T, JAEA proposed a novel hydrometallurgical process called "SELECT (Solvent Extraction from Liquid waste using Extractants of CHON-type for Transmutation) process". In the SELECT process, HexaOctyl NitriloTriacetAmide (HONTA) with six 
-octyl side chains is used for the mutual separation of minor actinides (MA) and rare earth elements (RE). In the present study, extraction tests were carried out with HONTA and three nitrilotriacetamides (NTA amides) with different side chains. The results show that the different side chains of NTA amides affect the extraction behaviors of MA and RE.
