AbstractAs part of the studies on the development of alternate extractants for fast reactor fuel reprocessing, a mixer-settler facility for performing counter-current solvent extraction runs with radioactive materials has been set up and commissioned in our laboratory for flow sheet development experiments. Mixer-settler runs were carried out with 1.1 M TiAP/Heavy Normal Paraffin (HNP) as the solvent using the above facility to test the equipment as well as the behaviour of the solvent for continuous solvent extraction processes. Stage profile data generated for the extraction and stripping of nitric acid with TiAP based solvent have been reported. Studies carried out on the continuous counter-current extraction and stripping of U(VI) for 1.1 M TiAP/HNP-U(VI)-HNO

Abstract During previous radioanalytical studies at Paul Scherrer Institute ca. 30 L of acidic waste containing spent nuclear fuel was produced, and now they need to be disposed A flow sheet for conditioning of these waste was designed and the extraction chromatography technique is evaluated. Suitable sorbents, such as AMP_PAN, TBP impregnated resin and DGA resin, were selected for the task of Cs-removal, extraction of U and Pu, and extraction of minor actinides and lanthanides, respectively. A pilot device will be built for preliminary tests with simulated solutions, and the facility will be built and evaluated with the real spent fuel solutions.

AbstractTo develop an aqueous reprocessing process for spent fuel of fast reactor, a counter current experiment (U-Pu co-stripping) based on a simplified PUREX process was carried out with 30%TBP/Kerosene solution containing U, Pu and HNO

Recovery of valuable metals such as copper, nickel and zinc from synthetic sulfate solutions using LIX 984N as the extractant dissolved in kerosene was investigated. The metals get extracted at different equilibrium pH of the aqueous phase and thus the pH of the aqueous solutions forms the basis of their separation. Copper was extracted at an equilibrium pH of 3.5, while nickel and zinc get extracted at an equilibrium pH of 7.3 and 8.8 respectively. The extraction isotherms of copper, nickel and zinc were obtained by contacting the respective metal solutions and 0.05 M LIX 984N at different A:O phase ratio at their respective equilibrium pH of maximum extraction. A two-stage counter- current extraction simulation was done to achieve quantitative extraction of the metals. Furthermore, a two-stage counter- current stripping simulation yielded quantitative recovery of the individual metals, from their loaded organic phases. On the basis of the results, a flow sheet of the process has been developed.

ABSTRACT Fractionation of monkey pituitary glands gave an oxytocin fraction in low yield which showed a counter-current distribution coefficient equivalent to that obtained with oxytocin from other species. Fractionation and chromatography of monkey vasopressin on carboxymethyl cellulose gave arginine-vasopressin of 60% purity, based on amino acid analysis and specific activity. Counter-current distribution on a small scale gave arginine-vasopressin of 89% purity. Reports by others that monkey pituitary glands contain arginine-vasopressin, based on pharmacological activities, are substantiated by the chemical data presented here.
