Thorium-plutonium chemical separation process

Creators

Description

A new chloride anion exchange process is described, which separates thorium from plutonium yet eliminates corrosive HCl fumes and consequent gas scrubbing equipment. Process flow sheet and experimental testing results are presented. Plutonium product yields of over 90% with <0.025 wt % thorium were obtained with single-pass processing of plutonium feed solutions contaminated by up to 46 wt % thorium
