Abstract

The distribution coefficients of Am, Ce, and Eu between the salt and metal phases were measured at 1073 K in a reductive extraction system of equimolar NaCl-KCl melt and liquid Ga. By changing the solute concentrations, it was observed that the distribution coefficients were dependent on the oxide ion concentration in the system, possibly due to the formation of such compounds as AmO+. In addition, the mass balance of Am was possibly affected by the formation and precipitation of its oxychlorides and/or oxides in some runs. Taking these observations into consideration, the separation factor between Am and Ce was found to be around 30 in the present system.
