“…The absorption spectrum produced has been found to be similar to that known for the nitrate radical (NO 3 Á ) [14]. This suggests masking or absence of absorption of DHOA transients produced with NO 3 Á in the 350-700 nm region.…”

Recently, completely incinerable N,N-dihexyloctanamide (DHOA) has been identified as a promising alternative to tri-n-butyl phosphate for the reprocessing of spent nuclear fuels. The present work deals with the pulsed radiolytic investigation on the reactions of DHOA with the radicals produced in the radiolysis of nitric acid and dodecane medium. The rate constants of the reactions of DHOA with solvated electron, nitrate radical and dodecane radicals have been measured and the transients have been characterized. In addition, the reactions of DHOA transients have also been studied.

“…Finally, in concentrated solution of nitric acid (42 mol L À 1 ), there is a fast reaction between HNO 3 and 1OH radical, k ¼1.4 Â 10 8 mol À 1 L s À 1 (Katsumura et al, 1991). However, difference in variation of G(H 2 O 2 ) between the NaNO 3 solutions and the HNO 3 concentrated solutions (42 mol L À 1 ) in N 2 H 5 þ (25 mmol L À 1 ) was not observed (Fig.…”

“…Preliminary, it is vital to understand the radiolysis effects on the diluents because it is prevalent in the literature that radiation damage mainly affects the diluents and, indirectly, the extractants [1]. With this regard, in the last decades a great deal of effort has been devoted to understand the radiolysis mechanism of nitric acid, in terms of possible by-products identifi cation and of formation yields evaluation [14][15][16][17], so as to assess their impact on the actinides chemistry [7,18,19]. Moreover, the composite system concentrated HNO 3 -organic diluent was studied with particular attention to degradation products impact on PUREX process safety [8][9][10].…”

“…In fact, this anion reacts with water by-products leading to the formation of nitrous anion [16,17], which plays a critical role in the redox chemistry of actinides, and thus on the effi ciency of the separation process [12,22]. Since nitrous anion immediately decomposes in acidic solutions, nitrate ion concentration was monitored [16].…”

Abstract. The development of effective processes to recover minor actinides from spent nuclear fuel cannot leave out of consideration the evaluation of the impact of ionizing radiations on safety, fl uid dynamics and extraction effi ciency. It is common knowledge from the literature that radiation damage mainly affects the diluents and, indirectly, the extractants [1], but a lack of knowledge remains regarding the radiolytic behavior of innovative selective actinide extraction (i-SANEX) diluents [2,3]. As natural prosecution of the work already performed on diluted nitric acid solutions [4], 0.44 M nitric acid solutions were irradiated in contact with a mixture of kerosene + 5 vol.% 1-octanol by a Co-60 source at 2.5 kGy/h dose rate and up to 100 kGy absorbed dose, conditions of interest for the future industrial facility. Density, viscosity, acidity, nitrate anion concentration and phase transfers were systematically measured before and after -irradiation. This was performed because radiation-induced modifi cations of these parameters may induce alterations of both the fl uid dynamics and the separation performances of the extracting system. The results suggest that the fl uid-dynamics of the system should be unaltered. In fact, only slight alterations of the organic phase viscosity and of the aqueous phase acidity were measured after irradiation, suggesting the occurrence of limited phase transfers and of diluent by-products formation.
