Solvent Extraction and Ion Exchange in the Nuclear Fuel Cycle


Book Description

This book covers most aspects of the processing of these fuels, bringing together the current thinking of international scientists and presenting a picture of the applications of solvent and ion exchange in the fuel cycle.







Plutonium Ion Exchange Processes


Book Description

Nine papers are included which were presented at the meeting in Oak Ridge. The papers are chiefly on plutonium separation by anion and cation exchange, although ion exchange contactors, amine extraction of plutonium, and uranium recovery from reduction residues are briefly treated. Separate abstracts have been prepared for each paper. (D.L.C.).




New Separation Chemistry Techniques for Radioactive Waste and Other Specific Applications


Book Description

The purpose of this technical seminar was to evaluate the present state of the art in matter of advanced separation techniques like solvent extraction, ion-exchange, chemical precipitation, membrane and electrical processes for the treatment of radioactive liquid waste and a selection of some specific industrial non-radioactive effluents. Through this initiative, the organisers aimed at promoting the exchange of information between scientists from various origins (universities, research centres and industries) while contributing to the necessary overcoming of the artificial barriers which too often limit the "technology transfer" between the nuclear and non-nuclear sectors.

Ion Exchange and Solvent Extraction


Book Description

The growth in the world's nuclear industry, motivated by peaking world oil supplies, concerns about the greenhouse effect, and domestic needs for energy independence, has resulted in a heightened focus on the need for next-generation nuclear fuel-cycle technologies. Ion Exchange and Solvent Extraction: A Series of Advances, Volume 19 provides a com
