A STABLE DILUENT FOR PUREX PROCESS EXTRACTANTS

H. Pollock

Open full text 8 citations

Abstract

The chemical stability and physical properties of ndodecane make it a superior diluent for extractants such as are used in the Purex Process. The chemical stability of commercial n-dodecane can be increased by purification with synthetic zeolites (molecular sieves). (auth)
