Abstract
Extraction chromatographic separation of trivalent minor actinides (MA: Am and Cm) was investigated by using solid adsorbents impregnating the lipophilic diamide-type ligands, TODGA (N,N,N′,N′-tetraoctyl-3-oxapentane-1,5-diamide) and DOODA(C8) (N,N,N′,N′-tetraoctyl-3,6-dioxaoctane-1,8-diamide). In nitric acid eluents, hydrophilic diamide-type ligands, DOODA(C2) (N,N,N′,N′-tetraethyl-3,6-dioxaoctanediamide) and TEDGA (N,N,N’,N’-tetraethyl-diglycolamide) were included for the respective adsorbents as masking agents in order to produce a synergistic effect in mutual separation of Am and Cm. The adsorption tendency of Am and Cm for the adsorbents was opposite each other, that was similar to the case of lanthanides.
