Recovery of Minor Actinides from High-Level Liquid Waste by N,N,N',N',N'',N''-Hexaoctyl Nitrilotriacetamide (HONTA) using Mixer-Settler Extractors
A continuous counter-current extraction experiment was performed using mixer-settler extractors to recover minor actinides (MA; Am and Cm) from high-level liquid waste.Using N,N,N',N',N'',N''-hexaoctyl nitrilotriacetamide (HONTA) as an extractant, 0.17 g of MA was recovered in the MA fraction.
