Man benutzt diese Eigenschaft insbesondere bei Verfahren zur Extraktion von Plutonium aus bestrahlten Kernbrennstoffen.Plutonium salts of valence level 4+ have a great affinity for certain organic solvents, such as tributyl phosphate and tertiary amines. One uses this property in particular in processes for the extraction of plutonium from irradiated nuclear fuel.
Die gewöhnlichen Verfahren zur Oxydation einer salpetersauren Lösung von Plutonium(III) zu Plutonium(IV) bestehen in der Zugabe genügender Mengen von Alkalinitriten.The common methods of oxidizing a nitric acid solution from plutonium (III) to plutonium (IV) consist in the addition of sufficient quantities of alkali nitrites.
Das beschriebene Verfahren bewirkt zwar eine quantitative Oxydation, hat jedoch den Nachteil, daß in die Lösung fremde Kationen, wie Natrium, Kalium, eingeführt werden, die unerwünschte Verunreinigungen sind, wenn man das Plutonium in sehr großer Reinheit gewinnen will.Although the process described causes a quantitative oxidation, it has the disadvantage that foreign cations, such as sodium, potassium, are introduced into the solution, the undesired impurities are if you want to extract the plutonium in very high purity.

Dieses Verfahren zum Oxydieren von Plutonium in wäßriger saurer Lösung eines solchen Redoxpotentials, daß das Plutonium die Wertigkeitsstufe III hat, besteht im wesentlichen darin, in die Lösung nitrose Gase hineinperlen zu lassen.This method of oxidizing plutonium in an aqueous acidic solution of such a redox potential that the plutonium has the valence level III, consists essentially in the solution to let nitrous gases bubble into it.
Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren läßt sich insbesondere auf salpetersaure Lösungen von Plutonium mit einem Gehalt an einem Reduktionsmittel, wie Eisen(II)-salzen, anwenden. Die nitrosen Gase können beispielsweise durch Einwirkung von Salpetersäure auf Formaldehyd in der Hitze oder durch Einwirkung von Salpetersäure auf metallisches Eisen oder Kupfer erhalten werden.The method according to the invention can be applied in particular to nitric acid solutions of plutonium with a content of a reducing agent such as ferrous salts. The nitrous gases can for example by the action of nitric acid on formaldehyde in the heat or by Exposure of nitric acid to metallic iron or copper can be obtained.

s5 gen Stufe, um es mittels einer salpetersauren wäßrigen Phase zu extrahieren, in der das Plutonium löslich ist. Die so erhaltene Lösung enthält Eisen(II)-salze (beispielsweise Eisen(II)-sulfat), die das Plutonium auf der Wertigkeitsstufe III stabilisieren. Auf dieser Verfahrensstufe kann es zur Durchführung der folgenden Maßnahmen notwendig sein, das Plutonium von der Wertigkeit III zur Wertigkeit IV zu oxydieren, und das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren findet hierbei eine besonders vorteilhafte Anwendung. Die Erfindung besteht darin, nitrose Gase in die Lösung perlen zu lassen. Sie kann beispielsweise in der Vorrichtung durchgeführt werden, die in der Figur dargestellt ist. Diese Vorrichtung besteht aus einer Glaskolonne 1, die mit Raschigringen 2 gefüllt ist, um die Berührung Flüssigkeit/Gas zu verbessern. Der Umlauf der Medien erfolgt im Gegenstrom. Die nitrosen Gase treten am unteren Ende der Kolonne 1 durch den Einlaß 3 ein und bewegen sich infolge einer hydraulischen Sperre 5, die aus der Lösung des zur Wertigkeit IV oxydierten Plutoniums besteht, in der Kolonne 1 von unten nach oben. Die zu behandelnde salpetersaure Plutoniumlösung wird am Kopf der Kolonne 1 durch den Einlaß 6 eingeführt und bewegt sich von oben nach unten.s5 gen level to it by means of an aqueous nitric acid Extract phase in which the plutonium is soluble. The solution obtained in this way contains iron (II) salts (for example iron (II) sulfate), which stabilize the plutonium at valence level III. on At this stage of the process it may be necessary to carry out the following measures, the plutonium to oxidize from valence III to valence IV, and the process according to the invention finds a particularly advantageous application here. The invention consists of nitrous gases in the Let solution pearl. It can be carried out, for example, in the device that is included in the Figure is shown. This device consists of a glass column 1 filled with Raschig rings 2 is to improve the liquid / gas contact. The media circulate in countercurrent. The nitrous gases enter the lower end of column 1 through inlet 3 and move as a result of a hydraulic lock 5, which results from the solution of the plutonium oxidized to the value IV exists, in column 1 from bottom to top. The nitric acid plutonium solution to be treated is introduced at the top of the column 1 through the inlet 6 and moves from top to bottom.

Die Oxydationsreaktion kann in folgender Weise wiedergegeben werden:The oxidation reaction can be represented in the following way:
NO + NO2 + O2 + (NO3)sPu ->■ (NOa)4Pu + NO2 NO + NO 2 + O 2 + (NO 3 ) s Pu -> ■ (NO a ) 4 Pu + NO 2
Es wurden nach diesem Verfahren zu wiederholten Malen Oxydationen durchgeführt, und die Oxydation von Plutonium(III) zu Plutonium(IV) war stets vollständig.Oxidations were carried out repeatedly according to this procedure, and the Oxidation of plutonium (III) to plutonium (IV) was always complete.
Der Nachweis des Übergangs des gesamten Plutoniums von der Wertigkeit III zur Wertigkeit IV ergab sich aus der Farbänderung im Verlauf des Verfahrens: Die anfänglich blaue Lösung wurde braun. Ein von der so behandelten Lösung gemessenes Absorptionsspektrum bestätigte, daß das gesamte Plutonium in der Wertigkeit IV stabilisiert war.Evidence of the transition of the entire plutonium from grade III to grade IV resulted from the color change in the course of the process: the initially blue solution turned brown. A The absorption spectrum measured from the thus treated solution confirmed that all of the plutonium was stabilized in the value IV.
Im folgenden ist zur Erläuterung ein Zahlenbeispiel gegeben.A numerical example is given below for explanation.

Diese Lösung wurde durch 150 l/Stunde nitrose Gase vollständig oxydiert.4 l / hour of a nitric acid solution of Pu 3+ with a free agidity of 1.1 n-HNO 3 and a content of 20 g / l Pu 3+ and 5 g / l Fe 2+ given. This solution was completely oxidized by nitrous gases at 150 l / hour.
Ein an der am Auslaß 8 abgenommenen Lösung gemessenes Absorptionsspektrum zeigte, daß das gesamte Plutonium auf der Wertigkeitsstufe IV stabilisiert war.An absorption spectrum measured on the solution taken off at outlet 8 showed that the entire Plutonium was stabilized at valence level IV.
Obgleich die Erfindung nur in ihrer Anwendung auf eine salpetersaure Lösung beschrieben wurde, kann sie selbstverständlich anderen Fällen angepaßt werden, insbesondere schwefelsauren und sulfosalpetersauren Lösungen.Although the invention has only been described in its application to a nitric acid solution, it can of course be adapted to other cases, in particular sulphate and sulphonic acid Solutions.
