Within the experimental contact time range of 0.5–24 h, iso Hex-BTP/Si O2-P showed high selectivity for241Am(Ⅲ) compared to152Eu(Ⅲ) in3 mol/dm3 nitric acid solution. However, the adsorption kinetics of241Am(Ⅲ) and152Eu(Ⅲ) was slow. Eu(Ⅲ)adsorption followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, indicating chemical adsorption as the rate-limiting step of the adsorption process. And the adsorption agreed well with the Langmuir adsorption model at various temperatures. The adsorption kinetics and isotherm data indicated that the equilibrium adsorption capacity, the adsorption rate, the maximum adsorption capacity and the adsorption affinity, increased with temperature. The thermodynamic parameters, negative change in Gibbs free energy, and positive change in enthalpy and entropy,suggested that the adsorption of Eu(Ⅲ) was spontaneous and endothermic process with an increase of entropy.展开更多

For this purpose, an advanced aqueous partitioning process based on extraction chromatography method was studied. Because R-BTP extractants(R-BTP: 2,6-bis(5,6-dialkyl-1,2,4-triazin-3-yl)pyridine, R = alkyl group) exhibit high selectivity for MA(ⅡI) over trivalent rare-earth elements(RE(ⅡI)), a novel adsorbent isoHex-BTP/SiO2-P was prepared by impregnating isoHex-BTP extractant into the macroporous SiO2-P support with a mean diameter of 60 μm. The stability of isoHex-BTP/SiO2-P against nitric acid and γ-irradiation was investigated. It was found that isoHex-BTP/SiO2-P adsorbent shows good adsorption affinity to Dy(ⅡI). The hydrolytic and radiolytic stability of isoHex-BTP/SiO2-P adsorbent in 0.01 mol/L HNO3 was fairly promising. However, the adsorption amount Q of Dy(ⅡI) decreased dramatically in 3 mol/L HNO3 with the increase of the absorbed dose and became nearly zero at the absorbed dose over 46 kGy. These results suggest that with the synergetic effect of radiation and acidic hydrolysis, the adsorbent instantly loses its efficacy.展开更多

The process coupled the extraction chromatography method to obtain the decontamination of Pd(II) from HLLW with the electrochemical method to recover metallic palladium from the concentrated solution.Separation of Pd(II) from a nitric acid medium by extraction chromatography using iso Bu-BTP/SiO_2-P adsorbent and the electrochemical behavior of Pd(II) in nitric acid solution in the presence of thiourea(TU) were investigated.iso Bu-BTP/SiO_2-P exhibited a high selectivity for Pd(II)over other fission products(FPs), and Pd(II) could be desorbed by TU from loaded BTP/SiO_2-P. The adsorbent performed good stability against HNO_3 because the adsorption performance kept Pd(II) after extended contact with HNO_3 solution. The column experiment achieved the separation of Pd(II) from simulated HLLW successfully.The electrochemical behavior of Pd(II) in palladium desorption solution containing TU and nitric acid was investigated at a platinum electrode by cyclic voltammetry. A weak reduction wave at-0.4 V was due to the reduction in Pd(II) to Pd(0), and the deposition process wasirreversible. In electrowinning experiments, a maximum of92% palladium could be obtained.展开更多
