Abstract
The extraction of actinides, fission products, some non-nuclear elements, and nitric acid by N,N,N′,N′-tetraoctyl-3,6-dioxaoctanediamide (DOODA-C8) in dodecane was extensively studied. Also studied was the extraction of HNO3 and Nd(III) by the tetradodecyl analog of DOODA-C8 in dodecane. Both extractants contain two ether oxygen atoms in the backbone chain carrying the two amide groups and can thus act as tetradentate ligands. The extractability of actinides decreases in the order Pu(IV) > U(VI), Am(III) > Np(V) in the extraction from nitric acid and Pu(IV) > Am(III) >> U(VI) in the extraction from perchloric acid. Ions of di-, tri-, tetra-, hexa-, and heptavalent metals strongly differ in the extractability by DOODA-C8 but, except for lanthanides(III), there is no visible correlation of their distribution ratios with ionic radii. Due to the efficient extraction of actinides, weak extraction of fission products, and sufficient extraction capacity, DOODA-C8 is a promising extractant for the recovery of minor actinides from high-level radioactive wastes.Keywords
