Separation of americium from highly active raffinates by an innovative variant of the AmSel process based on the ionic liquid Aliquat-336 nitrate
Filip Kolesar,K. Van Hecke,P. Zsabka,Ken Verguts,Koen Binnemans,Thomas Cardinaels +5 more
TL;DR: The introduction of Aliquat-336 nitrate as a diluent in the AmSel process results in improved Am(iii) separation from highly active raffinates, while maintaining similar Am/Cm separation factors. However, slower stripping kinetics and extraction of the complexant to the Aliquat 336 nitrate phase at low HNO3 concentrations were observed.
Recovery of Copper from Ammoniacal Leachates by Ion Flotation
Panagiotis Xanthopoulos,Demian Kalebić,Nor Kamariah,Nor Kamariah,Jakob Bussé,Wim Dehaen,Jeroen Spooren,Koen Binnemans +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an ion flotation was applied to separate copper from ammoniacal leachates of microwave-roasted sulfidic tailings samples, and the results showed that 85% of the extracted copper and zinc were recovered by precipitation.
Selective separation of Bi3+ from La3+/Ac3+ by sorption on sulfonated carbon materials for use in an inverse 225Ac/213Bi radionuclide generator: Batch and column tests
Hongshan Zhu,S. Heinitz,Sam N. Eyley,Wim Thielemans,Koen Binnemans,Steven Mullens,Thomas Cardinaels +6 more
TL;DR: In this article , sulfonated carbon material (SCM-500) was selected as the most promising candidate sorbent based on its unique aromatic carbon structure, sufficient amount of oxygen-containing functional groups, and selective sorption performance towards La3+/Bi3+.
Separation of transition metals from rare earths by non-aqueous solvent extraction from ethylene glycol solutions using Aliquat 336
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that replacing water by a polar organic solvent can lead to superior metal separations, which can also be applied to the separation of other transition metal and rare-earth metal pairs, including iron/neodymium and zinc/europium.
