Chemical Stability of Purex and Uranium Recovery Process Solvent (open access)

Chemical Stability of Purex and Uranium Recovery Process Solvent

The desirability of operating many of the Purex columns at elevated temperatures, ca. 50-70 C, has made it necessary to obtain data on the stability of the solvent at these higher temperatures. Since the present diluent, Shell Spray Base, will not be entirely safe at the upper temperature limit, a number of diluents with higher flash point have been investigated concurrently with Shell Spray Base. This report presents data covering the first phases of this investigation, namely, the effect of nitric and nitrous acid on the solvent at 71 C. or higher temperatures.
