Abstract
The research objectives of this project are as follows:
- To determine the influence of nitrate on the speciation of U and Pu in the TBP-dodecane-nitric acid system. The aqueous and organic speciation of U and Pu are examined as a function of the nitric acid concentration, nitrate concentration (by the addition of NaNO3), actinide ion concentration, temperature, and time.
- To determine the speciation of U and Pu with AHA in the presence and absence of TBP-dodecane organic phase. The aqueous and organic speciation of U and Pu are evaluated as a function of AHA concentration, metal ion concentration, metal ion redox state, pH, and temperature. Experiments will initially examine the aqueous phase then examine the two phase system.
- To incorporate thermodynamic and kinetic data into existing modeling codes.
