Tributyl phosphate (TBP) and trialkyl phosphine oxides (TRPO) are important extractants. They are widely used in industrial extraction processes, especially in the nuclear power industry. However, both TBP and TRPO suffer from several disadvantages. TBP has a low extractability for trivalent transuranium elements such as Am3+ and Pu3+ while TRPO has low loading capacity for HNO3 and UO22+. The extraction of HNO3 and 20 other ions of importance in the nuclear power industry was studied using TBP-TRPO/kerosene. The loading capacity of UO22+ and HNO3 in TBP-TRPO/kerosene was determined. The synergistic extraction characteristics of the mixture for Am3+ and TcO4 m were studied. The influence of high-concentration UO22+ on the extraction of Am3+, Eu3+, Pu4+, and TcO4 m was investigated. The experimental results show that TBP-TRPO/kerosene mixtures display both a high extractability for a number of ions and a high loading capacity for UO22+ and HNO3. 相似文献
Back-extraction of Pu4 + from a mixture of 20% tributyl phosphate (TBP) and 20% mixed trialkyl phosphine oxides (TRPO) in kerosene in the presence of UO2+2was studied. The back-extractants investigated may be divided into three groups: carboxylic acids and salts, amino polycarboxylates, and phosphonic acid. The distribution coefficients of both Pu4 + and UO2+2using a number of different back-extractants were measured and compared. The results obtained suggest that the only practical back-extractants are carboxylic acids. Among the carboxylic acids tested, oxalic acid is suitable when the UO2+2 concentration in the organic phase is less than 2 g/L. For UO2+2concentrations between 2 and 10 g/L, oxalic acid-nitric acid mixtures may be used. For UO2+2concentrations greater than 10 g/L, the only practical back-extractant is glycolic acid. The results obtained here may be used to further develop a new process for separation of Pu4 + and UO2+2 from TBP-TRPO/kerosene mixture. 相似文献
CuO–CeO2 (Cu–Ce) catalyst with a CuO/CeO2 mass ratio of 1 prepared by a sol–gel method is used in the CO catalytic oxidation reaction in the actual industrial sulfur-containing atmosphere. At a reaction temperature of 200 °C, the catalyst exhibits quite different stability under sulfur-containing and sulfur-free conditions. When 30 ppm SO2 was added to the feed gas, the Cu–Ce catalyst had an initial CO conversion rate of 100%, gradually decreasing after 26 h, and this catalyst completely deactivated at about 50 h. However, the CO conversion rate of the catalyst under sulfur-free conditions could be nearly maintained at 100% within the measured time range (60 h). The results of IR, Raman, and XPS characterizations proved that the accumulation of cerium sulfate on the Cu–Ce catalyst would cover the active sites of the catalyst, eventually leading to the complete deactivation of the catalyst, which provides favorable evidence for the actual industrial anti-sulfur application.
