- Abstract
Removal of actinides (trivalent, tetravalent and hexavalent) from nitric acid medium was studied using solid-liquid extraction technique employing polymeric encapsulated beads (PEBs) using an indigenously synthesized, unexplored novel monoamide, N,N′-bis(2-ethyl hexyl) α-hydroxy acetamide (BEHGA). The PEBs were synthesized by phase inversion technique. The structure and morphology of the synthesized PEBs were evaluated by employing various characterization techniques like FT-IR, TGA and SEM. The well characterized PEBs were studied for its Am(III), Pu(IV) and U(VI) sorption behavior from nitric acid medium. Kinetics studies showed that the sorption is fast with equilibrium being reached within 60 min of equilibration. The sorption mechanism follows pseudo-second-order mechanism with intraparticle diffusion playing an important role. Langmuir isotherm model was found to best describe the sorption isotherm. The maximum Am(III) sorption capacity of the PEBs was found to be 8.45 mg/g (experimental) and 8.43 mg/g (Langmuir). Back extraction was possible using 0.5 M HNO3. Stability of the PEBs was found to be quite good with no significant structural deformation or leaching out of the extractant in 4.0 M HNO3 solution for at least up to 8 days.
