The Texas A&M University proposes to develop a new method of group actinide (Ans) separations. To accomplish this goal, the project will pursue three specific aims: (1) Develop thermodynamically based dissolution-recrystallization cycles for producing purified Ans streams at high yield and good kinetics. (2) Study the effects of different oxidation methods on the formation of the crystalline phase. (3) Develop an understanding of the molecular structure and bonding of the crystalline phase containing the An(VI) species.
