“…These include UV spectrophotometry, inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES), and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) (5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11). Among these techniques, IC-ICP-MS could be a promising analytical technique for iodine speciation due to high sensitivity and element specificity of the ICP-MS detector (12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21). Recently, ICP-MS has been used for various environmental and biological samples for iodine speciation studies, including water, seaweeds, urine, human serum, and milk (4,(22)(23)(24)(25).…”

Extraction of pure uranium (U) from its ore or spent nuclear fuel and separation of U for trace impurities characterization of nuclear fuels are the processes resulting into the accumulation of large amounts of low boiling and volatile organic waste. The limited reusability and degradation (chemical and radiation induced) of these waste solutions turning out to be an environmental threat. The authors have addressed this issue by developing an eco-friendly, simple and selective liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) procedure for U employing a phosphoramidate group bearing task specific ionic liquid (TSIL). Optimization of various LLE parameters resulted in high distribution ratio (D) value of 174 � 5 for U when extracted from 5 mol L À 1 HNO 3 medium. A detailed study on the infrared and extended X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy of U loaded ionic liquid phase reveals the extraction mechanism. Such high D U value resulted in high separation factors for U with respect to the elements which are commonly present in the ore, processed nuclear fuel and spent nuclear fuel. The structural integrity and metal ion extractability of the TSIL is found to remain unaffected when irradiated up to an absorbed dose of 400 kilogray (kGy). Sodium carbonate solution is found to backextract � 95% of U from the ionic liquid phase and regenerate it for further usage.persuing research in this field and we are further working on these directions.

Advances in sample nebulization and injection technology have significantly reduced the volume of solution required for trace impurity analysis in plutonium and uranium materials. Correspondingly, we have designed and tested a novel chip-based microfluidic platform, containing a 100-µL or 20-µL solid-phase microextraction column, packed by centrifugation, which supports nuclear material mass and solution volume reductions of 90% or more compared to standard methods. Quantitative recovery of 28 trace elements in uranium was demonstrated using a UTEVA chromatographic resin column, and trace element recovery from thorium (a surrogate for plutonium) was similarly demonstrated using anion exchange resin AG MP-1. Of nine materials tested, compatibility of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polypropylene (PP), and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) chips with the strong nitric acid media was highest. The microcolumns can be incorporated into a variety of devices and systems, and can be loaded with other solid-phase resins for trace element assay in high-purity metals.
