Description

A method of the extraction and recovery neptunium from spentnuclear fuel post-processing waste liquid
Technical field
The invention belongs to nuclear waste transmutation recovery technology fields, are related to a kind of extraction and recovery from spentnuclear fuel post-processing waste liquid The method of neptunium.
Background technique
Contain a certain amount of neptunium, content different, burnup according to the burnup difference of spentnuclear fuel in the spentnuclear fuel of power reactor of nuclear power plant - 237 content of neptunium is about 500-600g/tU in spentnuclear fuel in 33000.Spentnuclear fuel mainly recycled in last handling process plutonium and Uranium, neptunium -237 stay in radioactive liquid waste.If the neptunium -237 stayed in radioactive liquid waste does not extract, then can enter solid Change body.The migration in solidified body of neptunium -237 is strong, is unfavorable for the safety in geological disposal library.Meanwhile neptunium -237 can be used as raw material warp Irradiation is converted to plutonium -238, becomes the important isotope material of space power and heat source.Therefore neptunium -237 from Spent Radioactive It is extracted in liquid, security risk caused by -237 migration of neptunium is strong when on the one hand can be reduced waste processing;On the other hand it extracts Neptunium -237 out can be used as the important source material for preparing plutonium -238.Therefore, neptunium is extracted from spentnuclear fuel reprocessing plant waste liquid To have great significance.
However, neptunium is recycled without separation and Extraction to recycle uranium, plutonium as the spentnuclear fuel reprocessing plant of target, mainly all into Enter reprocessing plant high activity liquid waste and in put it is buried after wastewater treatment.The high activity liquid waste and intermediate level liquid waste of spentnuclear fuel reprocessing plant are main It is the aqueous solution of nitric acid of 2-3mol/L, wherein the ingredient for also thering is a certain amount of last handling process to introduce, such as sodium, zirconium, fission product Element, the remaining uranium of extraction, plutonium and other actinides such as neptunium, americium, curium etc..Therefore, it to be put in radioactivity, complicated component Neptunium -237 is isolated and purified in penetrating property waste liquid and is extracted with certain technical difficulty.
The United States, Russia, English, method, day etc., the process that neptunium -237 is extracted in spentnuclear fuel reprocessing plant was studied by country, realized The extraction recycling of neptunium -237 is carried out from high activity liquid waste and intermediate level liquid waste in spentnuclear fuel reprocessing plant.The side of neptunium is extracted in high activity liquid waste Method is general are as follows: in spentnuclear fuel reprocessing plant codecontamination separative unit, try to catch up with neptunium in high activity liquid waste (1AW), then from Neptunium is extracted in high activity liquid waste.Typically extracting the external producer of neptunium with this method includes the U.S. Sa Fanna He Chang and Xi Guchang, Britain Wen Cikaier factory etc..Another kind extracts the conventional method of neptunium in intermediate level liquid waste are as follows: in the codecontamination of spentnuclear fuel reprocessing plant In separative unit, uranium, neptunium, plutonium are extracted jointly and fed them into organic phase (1AP), subsequent so that neptunium is entered radioactivity lower useless Separation and Extraction in liquid.It typically include the Chinese Ford factory and Midwest factory, France in the U.S. with the external producer that this method extracts neptunium Ma Kuer factory and A Gechang, the RT-1 factory of Russia, the factory, East Sea village of Japan etc..
The technique that spentnuclear fuel reprocessing plant extracts neptunium in the world mainly has ion-exchange and solvent extraction.Ion exchange The principle of method is to realize to divide using difference of the ion exchange resin to the adsorption capacity between neptunium and other actinides, fission product From.One of method is under given conditions, neptunium -237 to be allowed to be adsorbed on ion exchange column, elutes fission using detergent and produces The other elements such as matter-element element, uranium plutonium and then neptunium is eluted.It is required according to the decontamination of -237 pairs of other elements of neptunium, it may Need progress duplicate operation for the second time or for the third time also to further increase the purity of neptunium -237.
It is using organic extractant to not that solvent extraction extracts the principle of neptunium -237 from spentnuclear fuel reprocessing plant waste liquid Neptunium from waste liquid is isolated and purified out by the difference with the neptunium of valence state, plutonium and fission product extracting power.Publication No. 103305702A, entitled " recycled in a kind of 2AW+2DW intermediate level liquid waste from Purex flow and the technique of purifying neptunium " Chinese patent application, which is disclosed, extracts process using the neptunium that tributyl phosphate (TBP) is extractant.This method is in certain condition Under, spy higher to Np (IV, VI) distribution coefficient using TBP, low to Np (V), Pu (III), fission product distribution coefficient Property, it can be achieved that uranium, neptunium, plutonium extraction and recovery, and separated with fission product.But 30%TBP- diluent organic extractant phase is deposited In a problem, i.e. 30%TBP- diluent organic phase extracts distribution coefficient in the higher situation of acidity to tetravalent neptunium and is also only 1-2 needs to be designed as multitple extraction there are under strong salting out in highly acidity (4mol/L or more nitric acid), high salt concentration, Can guarantee has enough extraction yields to tetravalent neptunium.In this way when extracting tetravalent neptunium, needs using higher concentration of nitric acid or add Enter many salinities, this is totally unfavorable for the generation for reducing radioactive waste.
