AbstractAbstract
[en] In the context of the demonstration of the UREX (uranium extraction) process, a separation of uranium and technetium using an anion exchange resin was performed on a simulant solution containing 98.95 g/L of 238U and 130.2 mg/L of 99Tc. After sorption on the resin, TcO4- was eluted with NH4OH, the eluting stream was treated, and the technetium converted to Tc metal (yield 52.5%). The purity of the compound was analyzed: it contains less than 23.8 μg of 238U per gram of 99Tc. Tc metal was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectroscopy; EXAFS analysis clearly confirms the hexagonal structure of the metal obtained after treatment. Uranium was converted to ammonium diuranate and to U3O8 in a yield of 88.2%, analysis indicates that the compound contains less than 0.16 μg of 99Tc per gram of ammonium diuaranate. (orig.)
