Description
An extraction chromatographic process has been developed for the recovery of actinide elements (242Cm, 241Am, 238Pu, 237Np, 234U and others) from irradiated targets, from alpha liquid wastes and from aged actinide stocks. An inorganic adsorbent can be used as a stable, inert support for an inorganic extractant, e.g., TBP- impregnated silica. Due to the large variety of organic extractants available, this technique can be applied successfully to solve difficult actinide separations in quantities ranging from micrograms to kilograms. A comparison of extraction chromatography is also made with resin chromatography and liquid-liquid extraction. (author)
