The chemical separation of minor actinides (MAs) over lanthanides from high-level waste
(HLW) is one of the hottest and most difficult topics in international separation science. N, O …

The effective separation of trivalent actinides and lanthanides is capable of reducing the
long term radiation hazard associated with used nuclear fuel. This class of separation …

The direct selective separation of the trivalent actinides americium and curium from a
simulated Plutonium Uranium Refining by EXtraction (PUREX) raffinate solution by a …

Extractant aggregation in liquid–liquid extraction organic phases impacts extraction
energetics and is related to the deleterious efficiency-limiting liquid–liquid phase transition …

There is significant interest in ligands that can stabilize actinide ions in oxidation states that
can be exploited to chemically differentiate 5f and 4f elements. Applications range from …

During the partitioning of trivalent actinides from High Active Raffinate (HAR) solutions, most
processes have to cope with an undesirable co-extraction of some of the fission products …

Recently, efforts toward closing the nuclear fuel cycle have considered oxidizing americium
to a hexavalent, linear-dioxo cation for co-recovery with hexavalent U, Np, and Pu from …

Spectroscopic chemometric based on-line monitoring of used nuclear fuel (UNF)
reprocessing solutions and characterization of legacy nuclear waste (LNW) stored at …

The separation of trivalent lanthanides and actinides is challenging because of their similar
sizes and charge densities. S-donating extractants have shown significant selectivity for …

Separation of americium from the lanthanides is considered one of the most difficult
separation steps in closing the nuclear fuel cycle. One approach to this separation could …
