Electrochemical behaviour of dysprosium(III) in LiF–CaF2 on Mo, Ni and Cu electrodes

“…The separation of FP by phosphate precipitation in molten chlorides was studied by Volkovich et al [17] in the 550-750°C temperature range. The effect of the PO 3À 4 ions addition on the distribution coefficient of Dy(III) and other fission products has been examined.…”

Treatment of a waste salt delivered from an electrorefining process by an oxidative precipitation of the rare earth elements

“…In order to reuse these waste salts, the fission products in a waste salt must be removed. At present, various studies are ongoing to remove fission products from a waste salt; a salt-zeolite ion exchange [5], an oxide precipitation with an oxidant addition such as Li 2 O [6] or V 2 O 5 [7], phosphate precipitation [8,9] and a carbonate precipitation [10].…”

Synthesis of rare earth phosphates in molten LiCl–KCl eutectic: Application to preliminary treatment of chlorinated waste streams containing fission products

“…The first, systematically used in the literature for this type of investigation [6,7,[10][11][12], consisted in dissolving the solvent in an aqueous solution. In this study, salt blocks of about 10 g were placed in 200 mL of deionized water at room temperature and stirred magnetically for 30 min.…”

“…However, the use of molten chloride media considerably diminishes the temperature of formation of rare earth phosphates (monazite and xenotime). Volkovich et al showed that it was possible to form pure REPO 4 phases (Ln = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, and Dy) in LiCl-KCl and NaCl-KCl eutectics by adding lithium orthophosphate (Li 3 PO 4 ) or sodium orthophosphate (Na 3 PO 4 ) at 550 and 750°C, respectively [10][11][12]. The same authors also reported that only a large excess of A 3 PO 4 (A = Na and Li) compared with cerium chloride (PO 3À 4 :Ce 3+ molar ratio % 5) allowed a CeCl 3 ?…”
