Open AccessAggregation behaviour of radiolytically degraded diglycolamide based solvent system
The 0.1 M TODGA + 0.2 M DOHyA/n-DD phase was irradiated to various absorbed dose levels and the extraction behaviour of nitric acid and Nd(III) in the irradiated organic phases were studied. The organic phase was...

Feasibility of using the mixture of two symmetrical diglycolamides instead of unsymmetrical diglycolamide solvent for the separation of trivalent actinides
A mixture of 0.05 M N,N,N’,N’-tetraoctyl diglycolamide (TODGA) + 0.05 M N,N,N’,N’-tetra-2-ethylhexyl diglycolamide (TEHDGA)/n-dodecane was evaluated for its resemblance with its corresponding unsymmetrical diglyc...

Solvent wash studies for the removal of di-butyl phosphate from spent solvent under simulated PUREX condition
Reprocessing of high plutonium content spent nuclear fuel from fast reactors results in the generation of lean organic solution containing considerably high amount of di-butyl phosphoric acid. Use of sodium ca...
