Abstract

Extraction mixture capable of recovering actinide elements such as U, Pu and transplutonium elements from radioactive liquid waste in reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel. One embodiment of the extraction mixture includes a solution of bidentate organophosphorus extractant, dihexyl-N, N-diethylcarbamoyl phosphonate in a polar diluent, wherein bis-tetrafluoropropyl ether of diethylene glycol is used as the polar diluent at the following ratio of components: 0.1-1.2 M/L of bidentate extractant and the rest of diluent. Another embodiment of the extraction mixture includes a solution of bidentate organophosphorus extractant, phenyloctyl-N,N-diisobutylcarbamoylphosphine oxide in a polar diluent, wherein a mixture of metanitrobenzotrifluoride with trialkylphosphate is used as the polar diluent at the following ratio of components: 0.1-1.2 M/L of bidentate extractant, 0.3-1.1 M/L of TBP, and the rest of MNBTF.

Claims (5)
