Work by Nuclear Chemistry Department, Comenius University, Bratislava on dicarbolide extraction of fission products from radioactive wastes

The results are presented of cooperation between the department of nuclear chemistry of the Science Faculty of Comenius University, Bratislava and UJV in the field of processing spent fuel. During their ten years' cooperation the department studied the separation of technetium and palladium from waste solutions by cobalt dicarbolide extraction. Interesting data were obtained in the study of the main products in irradiated solutions of cobalt dicarbolide in mixtures of nitrobenzene with halogenated hydrocarbons. A list is given of published studies dealing with the said problem area. (E.S.)
