Abstract

An attempt to modify the TRUEX solvent has been initiated by replacing TBP with long-chain alcohols such as isodecanol. Solvent extraction experiments have been carried out determining distribution ratios for Am(III) as a function of concentrations of nitric acid and isodecanol. Acid uptake constant for the combined organic phase has also been arrived at which strongly suggests the interaction of CMPO and isodecanol. The suitability of the organic phase was tested for simulated high-level waste solutions.
