大块液膜技术处理含六价铬废水

以磷酸三丁酯(TBP)为载体,煤油为稀释剂,NaOH为反萃剂,采用大块液膜技术处理含95~100mg/LCr(VI)的模拟废水。考察了液膜相用量、载体体积分数及反萃剂浓度对大块液膜过程中Cr(VI)传质过程的影响。结果表明,大块液膜技术对废水中Cr(VI)的去除效果较好。Cr(VI)迁移速率随TBP体积分数的提高而加快。当反萃剂NaOH浓度大于0.5mol/L时,反萃剂浓度对Cr(VI)传质过程的影响较小。处理后废水中Cr(VI)含量降至0.5mg/L以下,达到国家排放标准。

Magnetic Properties of Uranium Carbides after Neutron Irradiation

Fundamental investigations on valence control and solvent extraction of americium were carried out to develop a method for americium separation from reprocessing solution. In order to adjust americium valency from III to IV and VI, (NH₄)₁₀P₂W ₁₇O₆₁ synthesized was used as complexant stabilizing Am(IV). Oxidation behavior of americium was investigated as a function of (NH₄)₁₀P₂W ₁₇O₆₁ americium ratio. Using 0.1M (NH₄)₂S₂O₈ and 0.01M AgNO₃ as oxidation reagent, Am(IV) was obtained quantitatively at the ratio of 15. On decreasing the ratio to 0.6, 92% of americium was adjusted to Am(VI). The concentration of (NH₄)₂S₂O₈ could be reduced to 1/15 compared to the previously reported method in which no complexant was used. Americium(IV) was also prepared by reacting O₃ and AgNO₃ but no Am(VI) was obtained even at low (NH₄)₁₀P₂W ₁₇O₆₁ to americium ratio.

Americium(VI) could be extracted by tri-n-butyl phosphate stably without influence of (NH₄)₁₀P₂W ₁₇O₆₁. The distribution coefficient of Am(VI) was 4 between 100% tri-n-butyl phosphate and 1 M nitric acid, and separation factor from Nd(III) was 50.

With regard to the americium separation method which implemented valence control followed by extraction, adding (NH₄)₁₀P₂W ₁₇O₆₁ led to minimization of waste volume and improvement of extraction efficiency.

国内低放废液磷酸三丁酯/煤油(TBP/煤油)热解焚烧处理设施的主要核心设备——热解炉是从国外某公司引进的,在工程系统冷调试过程发生了热解炉的搅拌桨卡死和高温气体过滤器严重堵塞的情况,导致系统不能稳定运行。经对热解炉检查,发现国外引进热解炉存在设计和制造缺陷,不能满足系统稳定运行。通过系统分析研究,国内自主设计一套磁力驱动搅拌桨转动装置和烧结金属高温气体过滤器,在后续调试过程中取得了比国外某公司原设计更好的运行效果,使得我国TBP-煤油热解处理设施顺利调试成功。

Recovery of oxalate from scrubbing solution containing rare earths and iron produced during uranium recovery from phosphoric acid

A solution containing oxalate complexes of rare earths, yttrium and iron (III) is obtained during the processing of wet process phosphoric acid for uranium recovery by solvent extraction. A process is described to recover oxalic acid from such a solution. The process is based on the conversion of iron (III) oxalate into calcium oxalate by calcium chloride followed by the metathesis of calcium oxalate with sulphuric acid to produce calcium sulphate and free oxalic acid. Data is presented to illustrate the influence of various parameters such as pH, temperature, digestion time and amount of calcium chloride on effective conversion of calcium oxalate. Under optimized conditions of pH 1, digestion time 2 h, twice the stoichiometric ratio of calcium chloride at ambient temperature (30±1°C) the recovery of calcium oxalate was found to be >94%. An overall schematic material balance flow -sheet for treating the oxalate solution of rare earths, yttrium and iron (III) to oxalic acid recovery has been presented. An improvement in the second cycle of patented process flow-sheet based on 1.5 M D2EHPA + 0.2 M TBP incorporating oxalic acid scrubbing / recycle for uranium recovery from phosphoric acid has been tested and found to be simple in terms of operations and capable of meeting product specifications..     

Comparison of Hydrometallurgical Parameters of N,N‐Dialkylamides and of Tri‐n‐Butylphosphate

Straight‐chain N,N‐dihexyloctanamide (DHOA) and branched‐chain N,N‐di(2‐ethylhexyl)isobutyramide (D2EHIBA) have been identified as promising alternatives to tri‐n‐butylphosphate (TBP) for the reprocessing of spent uranium based fuels, and selective extraction of ²³³U from irradiated thorium fuels, respectively. The present work deals with the effects of different hydrodynamic parameters such as viscosity, density, and interfacial tension (IFT) on the phase‐separation time (PST) under uranium and thorium loading conditions. The IFT values have been determined under varying experimental conditions such as the aqueous nitric acid concentration, n‐dodecane purity, ligand concentration, and thorium/uranium loading conditions. These studies have suggested that the quality of n‐dodecane affects the IFT values of different solutions. The IFT values of D2EHIBA changed marginally (23.3 ± 0.9 mNm^?1) against THOREX feed solution for the wide range of D2EHIBA concentration (0.1–1.0 M). However, IFT, viscosity, and PST values increased with uranium loading of 1.1 M DHOA. These studies suggested that a lower phase‐disengagement rate with increased uranium loading was mainly due to the increased viscosity of the loaded 1.1 M DHOA solution.     

A NEW PROCESS FOR THE EXTRACTION OF PENICILLIN G FROM THE FILTRATE OF FERMENTATION BROTH WITH TBP IN BUTYL ACETATE

The mixture of neutral phosphorus esters and butyl acetate (BA) can be used, as the extractant for the extraction of penicillin G. The extraction equilibrium pH can be increased to pH3—4 due to the stronger extraction capability of the solvent mixture, instead of pH1.8—2.2 with butyl acetate as solvent. The experimental results indicate that the total recovery of penicillin G can reach 96.6% with the new extraction process, which is 5—6% higher than that obtained with the traditional process using BA as solvent at pH1.8—2.2.
