Distribution studies on U, Pu and Th have been carried out employing tri-n-butyl phosphate (TBP) as extractant to optimise the conditions for the reprocessing of spent fuel of proposed Th based Advanced Heavy Water Reactor (AHWR)...

04/2006 | Radiochimica Acta, Oldenbourg WissenschaftsverlagTrace activity coefficients of the Th4+ ion in dilute to concentrated NaClO4, NaNO3 and NaCl solutions ([H+]=0.01−0.02 M) have been determined at 22 °C from liquid-liquid phase equilibria with 10−50 vol.% TBP in n-dodecane...

09/2006 | Radiochimica Acta, Oldenbourg WissenschaftsverlagIn 30% TBP/OK Np(V) is unstable and disproportionates to Np(IV) and Np(VI). Np(V) readily coordinates to Np(IV) in solution to form a “cation–cation” complex by bonding through an axial oxo group on Np(V)...
