Liquid–liquid extraction is the major technique being applied for the partitioning of f-
elements from nuclear waste. In this review, the recent developments in ligand design …

This review summarises the methods currently available to extract radioactive actinide
elements from solutions of spent nuclear fuel. This separation of actinides reduces the …

Separation of trivalent actinide (An) and lanthanide (Ln) elements is one of the burning
topics in the back end of the nuclear fuel cycle due to the similarity in their chemical …

Separation of the minor actinides (Am, Cm) from the lanthanides at an industrial scale
remains a significant technical challenge for closing the nuclear fuel cycle. To increase the …

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

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 Actinide-Lanthanide SEParation (ALSEP) concept is described. This concept is based
on using an extractant phase consisting of either N, N, N', N'-tetraoctyldiglycolamide …

Despite the fact that in the mass consciousness nuclear power is associated with increased
environmental risks, this type of energy today remains one of the cleanest, most efficient and …

The complexation of Cm (III) and Eu (III) with the novel i-SANEX complexing agent 2, 6-bis [1-
(propan-1-ol)-1, 2, 3-triazol-4-yl] pyridine (PTD) was studied by time-resolved laser …

Diglycolamide extractants, and in particular N, N, N′, N′-tetraoctyl diglycolamide
(TODGA), are currently under investigation for use in nuclear fuel reprocessing by liquid …
