Description

Crystallization purification full scale test was performed with the use of liner crystallizer. The crystallization purification of uranyl nitrate solution and process of uranyl and plutonyl nitrate hexahydrates co-crystallization were studied. Metal yield in both cases varied from 64 to 77%. The uranium purification coefficients were about 100. Pu co-crystallization coefficient was 0.8. The principal possibility of crystallization process to obtain crystal uranyl and plutonyl nitrate hexahydrates with the usage of liner crystallizer in industrial scale was confirmed. (author)
