Extraction of uranium (VI) and plutonium (IV) from the resultant nitric acid – boric acid medium by a solution of tri-n-butyl phosphate (TBP) in n-dodecane (n-DD) has been studied at 298 K. The distribution ratios of uranium (VI) and plutonium (IV) were found to be comparable with those obtained in the absence of boric acid. Extraction of europium (III) from nitric acid – boric acid by a solution of 1.2 M TBP–0.2 M n-octyl(phenyl)-N,N-diisobutylcarbamoylmethylphosphine oxide (CMPO) in n-DD was also studied. The solubility limit of boric acid as a function of nitric acid concentration was determined and it was found to decrease from 61.5 g/L in 0.1 M HNO3 to 32.4 g/L in 4 M HNO3 at 303 K. Extraction of boric acid in 1.1 M TBP/n-DD and in a solution of 1.2 M TBP–0.2 M CMPO in n-DD was studied and it was found to increase with increase in the concentration of boric acid above ~0.2 M. The study indicated that the interference of boric acid during the extraction of uranium (VI) plutonium (IV) by PUREX solvent and Eu(III) by TRUEX solvent was negligible and the added boric acid could be quantitatively retained in aqueous phase provided the boric acid concentration was fixed below 6 g/L (~0.1 M) in the feed solution.","PeriodicalId":16569,"journal":{"name":"Journal of nuclear and radiochemical sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":"37-39"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78310321","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From the chemical characteristics, the hot spring waters from the Kazusa and Miocene formations are classified as NaCl and that from the Shimanto and Chichibu formations is simple alkaline. This indicates that the concentrations of Ra isotopes are high for the NaCl type and low for the simple alkaline type and are correlated with the relevant sedimentation layer from which the hot spring water is welled up. Good correlation was observed for the ratios in the concentrations of Ra/Na and Ra/Cl in both types of hot spring water. The correlation patterns of Ra/Na and Ra/Cl for the simple alkaline type and sedimentary rock were different from those for the NaCl type and seawater, suggesting that the origin of the Ra isotopes may be different. The 228Ra/226Ra ctivity ratio was found to be related with Si concentration , showing that the activity ratio decreased with an increase of H2SiO3 for both the NaCl and the simple alkaline type. Assuming that the Ra isotopes in hot spring water were supplied from the relevant rock in the aquifer together with Si, the activity ratio of 228Ra/226Ra in hot spring water might be different between the NaCl and simple alkaline type, suggesting that the (228Ra/226Ra)t=0 activity ratio for residence time at t = 0 might be different for the two types.","PeriodicalId":16569,"journal":{"name":"Journal of nuclear and radiochemical sciences","volume":"103 1","pages":"143-148"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80800937","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
