Abstract

The invention relates to a method for separating and purifying a chemical element by use of an oxidation extraction-reduction back-extraction method. In order to solve the problems that the existing oxidation extraction-reduction back-extraction method can not give consideration to the needs for decontamination effect and mass-spectrometer measurement when in separation and purification of ruthenium and the like, the invention provides a separation and purification method of ruthenium in an irradiation uranium target. With an oxidation extraction-reduction back-extraction method, the separation and purification method comprises the following steps of: (1) dissolving the irradiation uranium target with hot nitric acid, and extracting to remove uranium and plutonium; (2) evaporating the raffinate to dryness, dissolving the obtained substrate with dilute sulphuric acid, and adding dilute sulphuric acid containing Ce(SO4)2 to oxidize ruthenium into RuO4; (3) adding carbon tetrachloride to extract RuO4; (4) washing the organic phase with dilute sulphuric acid twice; and (5) performing back extraction of ruthenium by taking the aqueous solution of dilute ascorbic acid as an aqueous phase to obtain ruthenium back-extraction liquid. The separation and purification method provided by the invention realizes a good decontamination effect and a high yield of ruthenium; the selected oxidation and reduction back-extraction conditions are reasonable and appropriate; and the ruthenium back-extraction liquid can be directly subjected to mass-spectrometer measurement.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for separating and purifying chemical elements by using an oxidation extraction-reduction stripping method, in particular to a method for separating and purifying ruthenium in an irradiated uranium target. Background technique [0002] The fission yield of ruthenium is high, and the yield of each isotope of ruthenium produced by fission of uranium and plutonium is quite different, so the isotope composition of fission ruthenium may be related to the burnup of spent fuel. Due to the complex matrix of irradiated samples or waste liquid samples, it is necessary to separate ruthenium from the matrix in order to achieve isotope analysis of fission ruthenium. At the same time, because elements such as Mo and Pd interfere with the mass spectrometry analysis of ruthenium isotopes, the separation and purification method of ruthenium requires It has a high decontamination coefficient for these fission products, and the separated...
