DISTILLATIONAL PURIFICATION OF IRRADIATED TRIBUTYL PHOSPHATE IN KEROSENE IN KEROSENE-TYPE DILUENT. Final Report for December 1, 1958 to November 1, 1959

Fred Sicilio, T. H Goodgame, Brooke Wilkins

Abstract

A study to determine the feasibility of fractionation or a combination of fractionation and wasiiing as a means of purifying radiation-damaged Purex Process solvent was conducted. It was found that flash distillation of the Purex TBP--Amsco mixture into the two components followed by distillation of each component may be performed in a trouble-free manner. Contact studies made with U/ sup 233/ and Ru/sup 106/ show that the extraction scrubbing and stripping characteristics of the distilled irradiated fractions are comparable to the distilled unirradiated fractions.
