Third phase formation in the extraction of Th(NO3)4 by tri-iso-amyl phosphate (TiAP) in n-tetradecane
- 1. Fuel Chemistry Division, Chemistry Group, Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research, Kalpakkam (India)
Description
Studies carried out in our laboratory have shown that TiAP has high limits for third phase formation and hence suitable for the extraction of Th(IV), Pu(IV) etc. Recently the feasibility of using TiAP as an alternate extractant in fast reactor fuel reprocessing has been demonstrated in our laboratory. TiAP can also be an alternate extractant to Tri-z-butyl phosphate (TBP) for the processing of thorium based fuels and monazite phase processing. The limiting organic concentrations (LOC) and critical aqueous concentrations (CAC) for third phase formation in the extraction of Th(NO3)4 by 1.1M solutions of several trialkyl phosphates in various hydrocarbon diluents were measured in an earlier work
