| Abstract: |
Extraction efficiency of uranium and transuranium elements (Np, Pu, Am and Cm) with tert-butylthiacalix[4]arene TCA from carbonate-alkaline solutions is studied and compared with that of europium (III). Plutonium (III, IV) extraction efficiency with TCA is found to be lower comparing with that of trivalent americium and europium. Extraction efficiency of studied radionuclides decreases as following: Am » Eu » Pu (III), U(VI), Np (V) > Pu (IV) at pH 12. Carbonate concentration increase in aqueous phase suppresses significantly extraction of all studied radionuclides, except americium. This condition can be used for americium individual recovery from complex radioactive carbonate-alkaline solutions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
