摘要
As one of the basic investigations on the group partitioning of actinides and lanthanides by a pyrochemical reductive extraction process, the distribution ratios of Pu, Am, Ce and Sm have been experimentally determined in the binary liquid LiF-AlF3/Al-Cu system at the temperature of 830degreesC. The distribution ratios of Pu and Am are much larger than those of Cc and Sm. They would allow a high recovery yield of the actinides and good separation factors from lanthanides. The influence of the salt composition (LiF/AlF3 ratio) on the distribution coefficients has been studied. Coupling the obtained experimental results and literature data, a thermodynamic model that describes the extraction in terms of Gibbs enthalpies of formation and the fluoroacidity of the melt has been developed.
