Abstract

The radiolytic stability of aqueous solutions containing two different bis-1,2,4-triazines was studied under static gamma irradiation. Sulphophenyl derivatives of bis-1,2,4- triazinyl pyridine (SO3-Ph-BTP) and bis-1,2,4-triazinylbipyridine (SO3-Ph-BTBP) were dissolved in 0.1 M and 1 M HNO3 solutions and the impact of gamma irradiation was assessed by the measurement of distribution ratios of Am(III) and Eu(III) using irradiated samples. The results were compared for two different organic solvents containing N,N,N’,N’-tetraoctyldiglycolamide (TODGA) or N,N-didodecyl-N’,N’-dioctyldiglycolamide (D3DODGA). The separation efficiency of all the systems remained unchanged when the absorbed dose was 100 kGy, and gradually decreased at 200 kGy and 500 kGy. The radiolytic degradation was more apparent for SO3-Ph-BTBP in comparison to SO3-Ph-BTP at higher acidity. The degradation of sulphonate groups in the molecules was evidenced in ATR-FTIR spectral studies.
