Separation of Transplutonium Elements from Neutron Irradiated Americium-241, (III)

Pillar[5]arene-based diglycolamides for highly efficient separation of americium(III) and europium(III).

Pillar[5]arenes, as a new intriguing class of calixarene analogues, were functionalized with ten diglycolamide (DGA) arms on both sides (rims) of the pillar framework and evaluated for their extraction behaviour towards Am(III) and Eu(III). These novel extractants exhibit excellent separation and extraction efficiency, suggesting its significant potential for nuclear waste remediation. Laser in...

Electrochemical Separation of Curium and Americium

The objective of this project is to develop a method for the separation of Am from Cm based on electrochemical techniques. Electrochemical systems that allow the thermodynamics of actinide and lanthanide complexes to be systematically evaluated and tuned will be examined. The influence of complex formation on the ability to selectively isolate a given species electrochemically will be evaluated...

Separation of Uranyl Nitrate Hexahydrate Crystal from Dissolver Solution of Irradiated Fast Neutron Reactor Fuel

A study on separation of 99Mo from neutron-irradiated UO2 by precipitation as ammonium molybdophosphate.

pharmaceuticals has increased so rapidly in the past few yearsl) that the production and the supply of 99Mo are one of the most important missions of an organization for radioisotope production. Molybdenum-99 having enough high specific activity for the medical application can be produced by nuclear fission of 235U. For the separation of 99Mo from fission products have been reported various met...

Ditopic CMPO-pillar[5]arenes as unique receptors for efficient separation of americium(III) and europium(III).

A unique host-guest recognition process involving a new class of homoditopic CMPO-pillar[5]arenes and lanthanides was revealed to proceed in a stepwise manner, and correlated with the efficient separation of americium(III) and europium(III) under acidic feed conditions.
