Abstract
Abstract To directly separate actinides from high level liquid waste (HLLW), a novel molecule, i. e. isoPentyl-BTBP (6,6′-bis(5,6-bis(4-methylpentyl)-1,2,4-triazin-3-yl)-2,2′-bipyridines) was synthesized and characterized. A kind of isoPentyl-BTBP/SiO2-P adsorbent was obtained by impregnating isoPentyl-BTBP into porous silica/polymer support particles SiO2-P under reduced pressure. The effect of HNO3 concentration, contact time on the adsorption of isoPentyl-BTBP/SiO2-P towards 241Am(III) and 239Pu(IV) was studied. And the stability of isoPentyl-BTBP/SiO2-P in HNO3 medium was also evaluated. It turned out that isoPentyl-BTBP/SiO2-P had much higher affinity for 241Am(III) and 239Pu(IV) over FP elements in 3 M HNO3, fast adsorption kinetics towards 239Pu(IV), excellent stability in HNO3 medium, and should be a very promising adsorbent for separating 239Pu(IV) and 241Am(III) from HLLW.
