Abstract
The modelling of solvent extraction system is important for the process flow sheet design and optimization. The estimation of aqueous phase activity coefficients constitutes the major part of the thermodynamic modelling of solvent extraction system. Hence the selection of suitable activity coefficient models for the accurate description of aqueous electrolyte system encountered in the nuclear fuel reprocessing system is an important task which decides the accuracy and complexity of the modelling. In this work the accuracy of extended UNIQUAC (eUNIQUAC) activity coefficient model for the estimation of uranyl nitrate and nitric acid distribution coefficient in 1.1 M Tri Butyl Phosphate (TBP) and 1.1 M Tri iso Amyl Phosphate (TiAP) have been compared with the eNRTL, Pitzer and SIT activity coefficient models. eUNIQUAC model gave lowest RMSD (%) for the estimation of uranyl nitrate and nitric acid extraction in TiAP and TBP respectively.
