Process study for removal of radioactivity from lanthanum oxide by HDEHP in HNO3 system

  • 1. Qinghua Univ., Beijing, BJ (China). Inst. of Nuclear Energy Technology

Description

The extraction mechanism and separation process of lanthanum and actinium were studied in HDEHP (kerosene)-HNO2 system. The mathematical model for the extraction of lanthanum and actinium by 50% HDEHP was given from the experimental results. The test tube bench scale and multistage counter-current extraction by centrifugal extractors were carried out for removal α-radioactiity of La2O3. The results showed that the recovery of lanthanum is more than 95% at proper condition, the decontamination factor is more than 500 for α-radioactivity and more than 1000 for calcium. The quality of La2O3 product satisfies the demands for fluorescent material
