SREX: A NEWPROCESS FOR THE EXTRACTION AND RECOVERY OF STRONTIUM FROM ACIDIC NUCLEAR WASTE STREAMS

Horwitz, E. Philip, Dietz, Mark L., Fisher, Dan E.·1991·Solvent Extraction and Ion Exchange

Abstract

A new process for the extraction and recovery of strontium from acidic waste streams is described. In this process, called SREX (for Strontium Extraction), strontium is extracted from acidic ( ≥ 1 M HNO3) solution using a 0.20M solution of di-t-butylcyclohexano-18-crown-6 in 1-octanol. Extracted strontium is readily stripped from the organic phase using either water or dilute (<0.05 M) HNO3. Tests of the process on a synthetic dissolved sludge waste solution show that only strontium, barium, and technetium are appreciably extracted by the crown ether. Prolonged exposure of the process solvent to nitric acid at elevated temperatures or to ≤ 50 Wh/L γ radiation from a 60Co source produces essentially no deterioration in its performance. Benchtop batch countercurrent extraction experiments show that 99.7% of the strontium initially present in a feed solution can be removed in only three extraction stages.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
