Isolation and Purification of Actinides Using N,O-Hybrid Donor Ligands for Closing the Nuclear Fuel Cycle

Despite the fact that in mass consciousness nuclear power is associated with increased environmental risks, this type of energy today remains one cleanest, most efficient and carbon neutral. Further development hampered by problem appropriate handling spent fuel (SNF). A very attractive concept closed cycle has been developed to solve it. real-life implementation requires technological processes for separation minor actinides from rest SNF components. Recent progress area closely N,O-hybrid donor ligands liquid–liquid extraction. This work systematically reviews available literature on topic provides detailed explanations behavior perspective ligands. Notably, another important aspect application analytics through their incorporation chemical sensors also discussed.
