The use of an HPCIC column coupled to IE-HPLC for a matrix independent separation of actinide elements

  • 1. Research Centre Juelich, Inst. for Safety Research and Reactor Technology, Juelich (Germany)

Description

Within the scope of the destructive waste analysis, there is a need for fast and easy to automate methods for the analysis of the actinide elements. HPLC can provide for the fast multi-element characterisation of radioactive waste. In order to avoid separation problems caused by the sample matrix, an HPLC column has been modified with an actinide selective complexing agent, CMPO. By means of this column coupled to an anion exchange column, the actinides americium, plutonium, thorium and uranium have been separated. The separation method has been tested with simulated salt and cement samples. (orig.)
