The Hydrometallurgical and Pyro-metallurgical Processes Studied Worldwide for the Partitioning of High Active Nuclear Wastes
For more than 10 years, a revival of the interest for the partitioning of high active nuclear wastes (HAWs) exists worldwide in connection with possible improvements of the management of the HAWs actually produced and with futuristic nuclear fuel cycles. The main aim of the partitioning processes is to separate, from the complex mixtures of HAWs, the long-lived radionuclides (LLRNs), belonging ...
متن کاملQuantitation of Transuranium Elements in High Activity Waste (HAW) Using Alpha/Beta Liquid Scintillation Counting and Extractive Scintillators
Determining the content of transuranium elements, Americium (Am), Plutonium (Pu), Neptunium (Np), and Curium (Cm) in the nuclear fuel cycle and in nuclear radioactive waste is important for both economic and human toxicity reasons. The major concern is processing the sample rapidly and quantitating these transuranium alpha emitters in the presence of 10 fold excess of beta emitting contaminants...
متن کاملStrontium speciation during reaction of kaolinite with simulated tank-waste leachate: bulk and microfocused EXAFS analysis.
Radioactive strontium (90Sr) is an important constituent of the complex wastes from past nuclear weapons production and has been stored in underground tanks at U.S. DOE sites (e.g., Hanford, WA). Using bulk and microfocused EXAFS spectroscopy, we examined temporal changes in solid-phase Sr speciation in kaolinite samples reacted for 1-369 d with high-pH, high ionic strength synthetic tank-waste...
متن کاملLeaching of gold ores with high cyanicides: a physico-chemical modeling approach
Processing of gold ores with high sulfide minerals is problematic as they consume cyanide and reduce gold leaching. Optimization of gold leaching and cyanide consumption requires a methodology to estimate the amount of exposed cyanicides, their leaching kinetics, and speciation of cyanide complexes that consume the free cyanide and compete with gold. In this paper, a physico-chemical approach i...
