Overcoming Kinetic Barriers to Actinide Recovery in ALSEP - Colorado School of Mines

The Colorado School of Mines, in collaboration with the Argonne National Laboratory, proposes to test the hypothesis that slow kinetics in the solvent separation process ALSEP and its related separation systems, for the recovery of Am from the fission product lanthanide elements, originate in the poor ability of the aqueous complexants to penetrate and react in the interfacial zone containing the metal-extractant complexes.
