The high level waste (HLW) generated during spent nuclear fuel reprocessing contains
unextracted U, Pu, a bulk of minor actinides such as Am, Np, Cm, and a host of fission …

Over the last decade there has been much interest in the applications of diglycolamide
(DGA) ligands for the extraction of the trivalent lanthanide and actinide ions from PUREX …

The novel extractants, six diglycolamides synthesized in our laboratory, were investigated
for actinide extraction from nitric acid into n-dodecane. The dependence of the distribution …

An overview of the work carried out on the development of amides/diamides as alternate
extractants in the back end of fuel cycle has been given. Whereas a straight chain amide …

The hydrometallurgical separation concepts for the heterogeneous recycling of irradiated
nuclear fuel developed in Europe are presented and discussed. Most of these concepts …

Americium and curium, present in spent nuclear fuel, are carried forward to the high-level
wastes (HLW) upon its reprocessing within the closed nuclear fuel cycle strategy. These …

One of the major problems of nuclear power industry is associated with large amounts of
radioactive wastes. Contemporary reprocessing technologies of spent nuclear fuel generate …

The effect of the alkyl substituents on amidic N atoms in diglycolamide (DGA) compounds on
solvent extraction has been investigated. The solubility in water and n-dodecane, lanthanide …

The selective partitioning (P) of long-lived minor actinides fromhighly active waste solutions
and their transmutation (T) to short-lived or stable isotopes by nuclear reactions will reduce …

The diamide type extractants (N, N'-dimethyl-N, N'-dihexyl-3-oxapentanediamide,
DMDHOPDA, N, N'-dihexyl-3-thiopentanediamide, DHTPDA, and N, N'-dihexyl-3 …
