Flowsheets for the Validation of the Reference AmSEL System by Vanel Vincent, Wilden Andreas, Modolo Giuseppe, Geist Andreas, Montuir Marc

“…This separation can be achieved by co-extracting lanthanide(III) (Ln) and actinide(III) cations (Am(III) and Cm(III)) into an organic phase containing the TODGA extractant (N,N,N’,N’-tetraoctyl diglycolamide), and then stripping Am(III) selectively towards curium and lanthanides. The water-soluble ligand SO3-Ph-BTBP (6,6′-bis(5,6-dialkyl-1,2,4-triazin-3-yl)-2,2′-bipyridine) is used to selectively strip Am from the loaded organic phase. …”
