摘要
Numerical simulations of neptunium concentration profiles in the co-decontamination step of the Purer process is carried out in order to understand neptunium extraction behavior and to propose a flow sheet for neptunium recovery from the reprocessing process. A simulation result for a flow sheet containing Pu(VI) in the feed solution shows that Pu(VT) plays a role of scavenger of nitrous acid. The rate constant of neptunium reduction with n-butyraldehyde is evaluated by using the process data. The determined rate constant is available for the numerical simulation of neptunium concentration profiles in the reprocessing process. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A.
