Recently, extraction selectivity for trivalent minor actinides (MA = Am and Cm) over lanthanides (Ln) has been found in some extractants containing soft donor, such as S or N, ligands. Kolarik et al. reported that a new N-donor ligand 2,6-bis(5,6-dialkyl-1,2,4-triazine-3-yl)-pyridine (R-BTP) shows high selectivity for MA (III) over Ln(III) [1]. However, protonation of R-BTP results in its acidic hydrolysis in acidic medium. Stability in acidic solution was improved by substitution of long normal chain or branched chain [2]. In this work, separation of MA(III) and Ln(III) from nitric acid solution was studied by using novel R-BTP impregnated resin. Branched R-BTP resin had high affinity for Am from up to 4 M HNO
solution and its distribution coefficient was over 10

Times Cited Count：39 Percentile：84.4(Chemistry, Physical)For the development of advanced aqueous reprocessing system, it is one of the most important subjects to separate minor trivalent actinides (MA = Am and Cm). Recently, extraction selectivity for MA(III) over Ln(III) has been found in some extractants containing soft donor, such as S or N, ligands. Kolarik et al. reported that a new N-donor ligand 2,6-bis(5,6-dialkyl-1,2,4-triazine-3-yl)-pyridine (R-BTP) shows high selectivity for MA (III) over Ln(III). The novel silica-based extraction resins were prepared by impregnating some R-BTP molecules into a macroreticular styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer which is immobilized in porous silica particles with a mean diameter of 50 
m. Separation of simulated high level liquid waste solution containing Ln(III) and trace amount of Am(III) was studied. Am(III) was mutually separated from Ln(III) through a packed column with R-BTP impregnating resin, very high decontamination factor (
10
) for Am, and all the elements were recovered quantitatively.
