초록

방사성폐액 중 주요 핵종인 $^{241}Am$, $^{152}Eu$$^{237}Np$를 선정하여 추출제 di-(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid를 사용한 용매추출법으로 이들 세 가지 핵종의 상호분리에 대해 연구하였다. $^{237}Np$의 추출율을 향상시키기 위해 환원제로 $H_2O_2$를 첨가하여 추출한 결과 $^{241}Am$, $^{152}Eu$$^{237}Np$ 핵종 모두 99.9% 이상 추출할 수 있었다. 추출된 $^{241}Am$, $^{152}Eu$$^{237}Np$는 세 단계의 역추출과정을 통해 상호분리한 결과 $^{152}Eu$$^{237}Np$의 경우 상호분리도가 좋았으나, $^{241}Am$의 경우 약 7~9.6%의 $^{152}Eu$$^{237}Np$가 동반 역추출되어 $^{241}Am$ 용액에 대한 정제과정이 추가로 요구되었다. 용매재생과정에서 생성되는 제3상의 생성원인과 해결방법에 대해서도 논하였다.

Several main nuclides($^{241}Am$, $^{152}Eu$ and $^{237}Np$) in radioactive waste solution were selected and examined to mutual separation with di-(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid by solvent extraction technique. $^{237}Np$ was extracted more than 99.9% adding the $H_2O_2$ that was a good reductant for the oxidation state control of $^{237}Np$. $^{241}Am$, $^{152}Eu$ and $^{237}Np$ could be fairly well separated one another during the different sequence stripping stages, but about 7~9.6% of the other nuclides were still remained for the $^{241}Am$ stripping solution. This result shows that the product of $^{152}Eu$ and $^{237}Np$ was good, but $^{241}Am$ may be needed to further purification process. It was also discussed on the cause of the third phase formation phenomenon that was found in the solvent regeneration.
