5 Element to be separated 1) Minor Actinides(MA)=Np, Am, Cm - Long-lived nulides to be transmuted - Np can be separated together with U and Pu, and therefore main MA to be separated from HLLW are Am and Cm. - Am and Cm are stable in trivalent state (An(III)), and rare earths (RE) shows similar behavior. Mole ratio of An(III) to RE is in PWR and in FR-MA - In many cases, An(III) are separated by two steps. 2) Heat emitters =Sr, Cs - Most of the heat by FP are emitted by Sr and Cs. - Highly loaded waste form would be possible after Sr and Cs removal. 3) Platinum group metals (PGM)=Ru, Rh, Pd - Valuable elements - They shows bad effect in vitrification 4) Long-lived fission products=tc - Tc can be separated with PGM in many cases. - to be transmuted, and also a valuable element Dissolution An(III)+RE recovery Iodine Partial U separation U-Np-Pu separation Sr, Cs U U, Pu, Np High-level liquid solution (HLLW) An(III)/RE separation Am/Cm sep.

6 MA Separation (An(III) Separation) Separation Process for MA with an extractant, DIDPA or CMP was tested with real HLLW and the separation performance was confirmed in JAEA. iso-c 10 H 21 P H iso-c 10 H 21 DIDPA C 8 H 17 P H 2 C C N i-c 4 H 9 i-c 4 H 9 Experimental apparatus in NUCEF for tests of DIDPA extraction process with real HLLW from LWR SF CMP Experimental apparatus in CPF for tests with real HLLW from FR SF Both processes have, however, drawbacks to be overcome. DIDPA extraction : Nitric acid concentration of HLLW should be reduced, which results in formation of precipitation. Waste generation by P atom. CMP extraction : Huge volume of solution. Waste generation by P atom. New research and development 1 Application of some new extractants 2 Application of extraction chromatography 6
7 Solvent extraction and Extraction chromatography 1) Solvent extraction : separation method using difference in distribution equilibrium between aqueous phase such as nitric acid solution and organic phase containing extractant(s) by each element Advantage : Easy continuous operation giving high recovery with high purity. Much experience in nuclear industry. Problem : Treatment of spent solvent. Scale of extractors. The third phase formation. 2) Extraction chromatography : extraction between solution and adsorbent which is impregnated with extractant(s). Advantage : No diluent. High separation factor. Compact apparatus. Problem : Less experience in nuclear industry. Difficulty in remote operation. Problem of adsorbent swelling was solved by using porous silica particles. Porous silica particles coated with organic polymer Size : several tens m Solvent Extraction Extraction chromatography 7
8 Development of new extractants for An(III)+RE recovery Requirements for An(III)+RE extractants Extraction from the solution of high nitric acid concentration to avoid precipitation Effective extraction and back-extraction Compound without P to avoid secondary waste H 25 C 12 N H 25 C 12 H 2 C C CH 2 C 12 H 25 C N TDdDGA(dodecyl-DGA) C 12 H 25 Tridentate DGA extractants are developed. An(III) can be extracted from 1~3M nitric acid solution and back-extracted with 0.1M nitric acid Amide compound without P (CHN principle) Soluble in n-dodecane TDdDGA has high extraction capacity without formation of the third Acceptable durability against radiation Status of TDdDGA extraction process development Continuous extraction tests using simulated HLLW with Am tracer gave the Am recovery of more than 99.99%. Process simulation code was developed. ptimization of process condition is underway. Tests with real HLLW will be carried out as a next step. Distribution ratio of Am (-) TDGA Present work CMP Easy backextraction Nitric acids (M) Effective extraction Malonamide DGA extractant is also applied to extraction chromatography. 8
9 An(III)/RE separation by solvent extraction In both DIDPA extraction and CMP extraction, a complexing agent, DTPA, is used for An(III)/RE separation, which makes more stable complex withan(iii). Problem Treatment of organic phase and aqueous solution including complexing agent Control of ph secondary waste Separation by the combination of TDdDGA and DTPA is also examined and separation factor of 9.4 between Am and RE was confirmed (figure) Study on soft-donor extractants soft-donor : nitrogen(n), sulfur(s) hard-donor : oxygen() Soft-donor extractant gives higher distribution ratio with An(III) than with RE. Selective extraction of An(III) Hybrid extractants which have both soft and hard donor in the molecule are also studied. Distribution ratio (-) TDdDGA-DTPA Separation factor of 9.4 Still in the stage of extractant selection ph after back-extraction and basic data acquisition 9
10 An(III)/RE separation by solvent extraction Multi-dentate N donor extractant, TPDN, provide Am/Eu separation (center figure) TPDN Distribution ratio TPDN Am Eu Hybrid type extractants, ADAAM(EH) is being examined and separation factor of more than 20 was obtained between Am and Eu Application of TPDN to extraction chromatography is also examined. ph rganic phase:[tpdn] = 10 mm in nitrobenzene Aqueous phase: ph = ADAAM(EH) Status of separation process development and the near future Continue to obtain extraction data (extraction rate, extraction capacity, stability, etc.) Process integration with An(III)+RE recovery. After optimization of process condition and continuous extraction test with simulated HLLW, tests with real HLLW will be performed. 10
11 Adsorption/Elution assessment MA can be adsorbed by adsorbents with CMP and TDGA from HLLW, and eluted with some FPs (Ln) MA can be adsorbed by adsorbents with R-BTP (ihex-btp) from HLLW, and eluted selectively MA can be adsorbed by adsorbents with HDEHP and TPEN from diluted HN 3 solution, and eluted selectively C/C 0 An(III) Separation by Extraction Chromatography DV Feed 3M HN 3 H 2 50mM DTPA (ph=3) Sr Pd Ru-106 Sb-125 Cs-137 Ce-144 Eu-155 Am-241 Cm-242 ph An(III)+Ln recovery ph C/C Feed 1 M HN3 Dead Vol. H 2 Sr Zr Ba Ce Sm Gd Cm ihex-btp TPEN Selective An(III) recovery Y Mo La Nd Eu Am Through Bed Volume Chromatographic separation of real HLLW by the column with CMP/Si 2 -P adsorbents (JY spent fuel test at CPF) S.

12 Durability of Adsorbents against Gamma Irradiation Durability assessment Adsorbents with CMP and TDGA have a similar durability Adsorbent with R-BTP is unstable in high HN 3 condition Adsorbents with R-BTP, HDEHP and TPEN have a similar durability in diluted HN 3 condition Distribution coefficient (cm 3 /cm 3 ) M * 4.8 M Contact time : 180 min, Temp. : 25ºC Adsorption solution : [HN 3 ]=4.8M, [Eu(III)]=10mM ray dose (MGy) * [HN 3 ] at exposure Distribution coefficient of Eu from 4.8M HN 3 by TDGA/Si 2 -P adsorbents Distribution coefficient (cm 3 /cm 3 ) Contact time : 180 min, Temp. : 25ºC Adsorption solution : [HN 3 ]=2M, [U(IV)]=10mM 0.01 M * 2 M ray dose (MGy) * [HN 3 ] at exposure Distribution coefficient of U from 2M HN 3 by ihex-btp/si 2 -P adsorbents Y. Koma, et al., Proc. of GLBAL2009 (2009) 12
13 Separation of Fission Products Separation of Sr-Cs (1)Adsorption with inorganic ion exchangers - Titanic acid for Sr and Zeolite (mordenite) for Cs. The adsorbents can be converted to a stable form by calcination. - Experiments with real HLLW showed a good performance for Sr-Cs recovery. - Drawback : Reduction of acid concentration is required. (2)Extraction chromatography - Crown-ether for Sr and Calix-crown for Cs. - Very small scale test with real HLLW was performed. - Drawback : High cost for extractants. Very small scale test with real HLLW for Sr-Cs separation by extraction chromatography Performance of each separation process was confirmed. Integration of total process is important. Separation of Tc-PGM(Ru, Rh, Pd) - Adsorption method with active carbon was developed. - Precipitation method by denitration was tested with real HLLW, and the recovery of Tc-PGM was confirmed. - Extraction with oxime for Pd separation and volatilization with electrochemical oxidation for Ru separation were investigated. ther elements - Zr and Mo are separated by precipitation in DIDPA extraction. - Separation process for Zr-Mo by extraction with HDEHP was developed. 13
14 Summary In An(III) separation and FP separation, several methods have been already confirmed to give good performance. Methods to give better separation performance should be investigated. High-level liquid solution from spent fuel of LWR and the solution after U-Pu recovery from spent fuel of fast reactor, as a starting solution of An(III) separation, can be treated in a similar manner considering the difference in actinide content. Integration of separation processes for An(III) and FP is important. Together with the real HLLW tests, cold mock-up tests in an industrial scale should be performed, and then it become possible to proceed to active tests in the industrial scale. 14
