Evaluation of plutonium(IV) extraction rate between nitric acid and tri‐n‐butylphosphate solution using a glass chip microchannel

Abstract: Extraction of Pu(IV) with tri-n-butylphosphate is performed using a glass chip microchannel to evaluate the extraction rate. Two-phase flow forms in the microchannel by introducing a solution of Pu(IV) and tri-n-butylphosphate with flow rates above 5 μL/min. The Pu(IV) extraction reaction proceeds at the interface between the two phases. To evaluate the extraction rate, the contact time between the two phases is varied from 0.48 to 4.8 s by changing the confluent length of the microchannel and the flow rate. T… Show more

“…Microfluidic devices are being explored as an alternative approach for solvent extraction, including droplet and stream-based extraction chips [10]. Microfluidic solvent extraction has been reported for liquid-liquid extraction of Ag [11], Co [12,13], Cu [14][15][16][17], Cr [16], Pt [18,19], Pd [19], and various lanthanides [20][21][22][23] and actinides [24][25][26]. As with bulk SX, increasing the surface-tovolume (S/V) ratio in microfluidic extraction increases the rate of extraction [10,19,23,24,27].…”

“…Some authors are now using microfluidics to study mass transfer in the nuclear field [9][10][11][12] and fewer attempts exist to determine the intrinsic constants governing it [13,14]. They are characterized by the absence of a diffuse layer [15].…”

“…Up to now, the vast majority of the kinetic studies in two-phase flow using microfluidic channels employs segmented flows. Some studied stratified flows [11,[16][17][18], although this configuration eases the phase separation at the outlet of the channel. Moreover, unlike segmented flows, the hydrodynamics in laminar stratified flows can follow a Poiseuille-like profile.…”

“…With the advent of low-flow nebulization and loop injection techniques for plasma spectroscopy, it is now possible to perform comprehensive, high-sensitivity actinide impurity assay by ICP-OES using just 1 mL of column effluent [8]. Although microfluidic technology for actinide separation is still in its infancy [9][10][11][12], integrated microfluidic devices customized with solid-phase resins hold significant potential as lab-on-a-chip platforms for matrix removal in trace element assay and for related analyses of actinides. An effective microfluidic separation device would support a 10-to 100-fold reduction in sample size, with commensurate operational benefits to worker safety and waste minimization.…”
