Benzyldibutylamine is a suitable extractant for the separation of Am(III) and Ln(III) from the acidic nitrate solutions. The effect of lanthanides and yttrium on the extraction of Am(III) has been followed under the conditions modelling the content of these components in the spent nuclear fuel. The separation factors αAm/Ln were evaluated for the optimum conditions found for the separation of Am(III) from the lanthanides. The coextraction of nitric acid and water into the organic phase is discussed.

The extraction of Am(III) with benzyldibutylamine from nitrate medium was examined in dependence on the concentration of nitric acid, kind and concentration of the salting-out agent in the aqueous phase, and on the solvent. Am(III) is extracted into the organic phase in the form of {(R3NH+)α, Am(NO3)52-}. The IR spectra of the organic phase are discussed and confronted with the results of the chemical analysis of the organic phase. The extraction of Am(III) and of lanthanoids was found to be considerably higher than that of some products of corrosion and nuclear fission (Cs, Sr, Zr, Fe), which is documented by the high values of the separation factors.

There are shown modeling results of the joint utilization process of tributylphosphate’s spent solutions into hexachlorinebutadiene for uranium and plutonium extraction from nitric acid solution of spent nuclear fuel and its recycling wastes. Utilization process was carried out for widely temperature and mass fraction ranges of air plasma coolant. Also optimal consist of inflammable water-organic compositions and modes for practical application this process in air plasma was determined.

The careful control of actinide distribution between 30% tributylphosphate (TBP) in organic diluent and nitric acid is vital to the successful operation of nuclear fuel reprocessing plants. Uranium (VI) and tetravalent actinides are extracted into the organic phase as the nitrate complexes UO

This work demonstrates the results of modeling the joint utilization process of the spent solutions of tributylphosphate with hexachlorinebutadiene for extracting uranium and plutonium from a nitric acid solution of spent nuclear fuel and its processing wastes. Calculations are made for a wide range of temperature and mass fractions of air plasma coolant. Also, optimal inflammable water-organic compositions and work regimes for the practical implementation of this process in air plasma were determined.
