Description

The mixture of uranium and ruthenium was always found in the spent reactor nuclear fuel. Uranium extraction by organic extractant of high molecular weight known as AMEX process was studied in this paper. Feed of uranium - ruthenium mixture in HCl solution was extracted by tridodecylamine in toluene. The investigated parameter of the extraction is the acidity of feed solution, the concentration of tridodecylamine, the ratio volume of aqueous phase to organic phase and the extraction time. The optimum separation yield was obtained at condition of feed solution of 5M HCI with U = 22924 ppm and Ru = 1486 ppm extracted by using 0.5 M tridodecylamine in toluene, the ratio volume of aqueous phase to organic phase (FA:FO) = 1:1, the extraction time = 0.5 minutes. The efficiency of extraction U = 100% and organic extraction phase was relatively free of Ru
