National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Caustic-Side Solvent Extraction Process Chemistry, Summary Report.

DE2004820766

Publication Date	2002
Personal Author	Harmon, H.; Leugemors, R.; Fink, S.; Thompson, M.; Walker, D.
Page Count	20
Abstract	Chemical and physical property studies of Caustic-Side Solvent Extraction (CSSX) have been continued to provide fundamental data for process knowledge and design activities. The overall conclusion of the FY02 physical and chemical property studies is that the CSSX solvent meets all of the performance requirements within the bounding conditions defined by the Savannah River Site waste. These studies also showed that the chemical and thermal degradation under the operating conditions of the process is slow relative to the goal of one annual solvent replacement. This work also supported other tasks in addressing the radiation-stability risk, providing analytical and performance data showing that the solvent can withstand the dose equivalent of several years without the need for solvent washing.
