AbstractActinide specific chelator (che) conjugated with magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have been developed to separate nuclear waste in acidic conditions. Compared to the traditional nuclear waste treatments, such as solvent extraction and ion exchange, this method is a simple, compact and cost-effective process that generates minimum secondary waste. In this paper, we focus on the coating process of MNPs to achieve a combination of good acidic resistance, high chelator loading density and efficient magnetic separation. An optimized silica coating process before conjugates chelator directly onto MNPs significantly improves the acidic resistance of the MNP-che complex. Chelator loading density is significantly increased by attaching a linear polyamine polymer poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) to the surface of the MNPs using chemical and physical approaches.

Uranium is separated from the raffinate of Isfahan’s uranium conversion solvent extraction process by means of solvent coated magnetic nanoparticles. These particles were synthesized via chemical co-precipitation and were analyzed by XRD, TEM and TGA methods. The particles’ surface were modified with D2EHPA and analyzed with FT-IR method. The results revealed that 0.5 M nitric acid and 25% w/w D2EHPA on nanoparticles gives the maximum uranium extraction yield. The raffinate of the solvent extraction plant can be disposed safely after its uranium content reduces to the allowable values.
