Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the research field of nuclear fuel cycle analysis technology, in particular to a method for constructing an organic phase uranium working curve. Background Art

[0002] In order to achieve the dual carbon goals, my country is stepping up the development and utilization of nuclear energy, but the disposal of irradiated nuclear fuel is an important link that limits the sustainable development of nuclear energy. Considering that the direct disposal of these nuclear fuels will pose a risk of radiation pollution to the environment and will lead to the waste of uranium and plutonium resources, my country has adopted a closed nuclear fuel cycle policy to achieve the recovery and reuse of uranium and plutonium. Among them, uranium, as the main source of alpha radioactive toxicity, has irreversible harm to the environment and organisms and requires special attention. Uranium isotopes are also widely used in our lives, for example, 235 U and 233 U is a fissile nuclide and can be used as nuclear fuel; 238 U is a convertible material that can generate fissile nuclear material through the (n,γ) reaction 239 Pu; in addition, the rays produced by uranium decay can be used in medicine for sterilization, clinical diagnosis and treatment, etc.

[0003] Due to these characteristics and applications of uranium, it is very necessary to accurately analyze uranium in the closed cycle of nuclear fuel. At present, the analysis methods of uranium include spectrophotometry, ICP-MS (inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry), XRF (X-ray fluorescence), L-edge densitometer, α-spectroscopy, etc. These methods require the use of standard solutions of uranium, among which the uranium standard in the aqueous phase can be obtained by dissolving and constant volume of the certified standard material U3O8 or by dissolving, constant volume, and automatic potentiometric titration of the reference standard material UO3. Automatic potentiometric titration is a method with very high accuracy and precision, and is less affected by external interference, but it is usually used for the analysis of uranium in aqueous solutions and is not applicable to the accurate determination of uranium in organic phases.

[0004] The determination of uranium in the organic phase has always been a key technology in the field of nuclear fuel closed cycle, and there is currently no particularly good means of determination. In order to ensure the recycling of uranium elements, it is urgent to develop a method to accurately determine the uranium content in the organic phase. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the defects of the above-mentioned prior art and provide a method for constructing an organic phase uranium working curve to achieve accurate determination of the uranium content in the organic phase.

[0006] During the course of conception, the applicant believed that the present invention uses 30 vol% tributyl phosphate-kerosene to extract uranium from aqueous uranium stock solution and then transfer it to the organic phase, and combines the automatic potentiometric titrator and trace uranium analyzer analysis technology to determine the uranium content in the organic phase. This method has an excellent uranium separation effect and is accurate and reliable as verified by theory and experiments.

[0007] The purpose of the present invention can be achieved by the following technical solutions:

[0008] A method for constructing an organic phase uranium working curve comprises the following steps:

[0009] S1. Preparation of aqueous uranium stock solution;

[0010] S2, preparation of 30 vol% tributyl phosphate-kerosene;

[0011] S3, using 30 vol% tributyl phosphate-kerosene prepared in S2 to extract the aqueous uranium stock solution prepared in S1 to prepare an organic uranium standard solution;

[0012] S4, determining and analyzing the concentration of uranium in the aqueous uranium stock solution prepared in S1 and the raffinate in S3;

[0013] S5. Calculation of the concentration of organic phase uranium standard solution and establishment of organic phase uranium standard curve.

[0014] Furthermore, in S1, the preparation of the aqueous uranium stock solution comprises:

[0015] Add 6-8 mol / L nitric acid to the U3O8 certified standard material or the UO3 reference standard material, heat on a hot plate for the first dissolution, evaporate to dryness after complete dissolution, add 6-8 mol / L nitric acid for the second dissolution and cool to room temperature, then transfer the solution to a volumetric flask, repeatedly wash the beaker three times with 4-6 mol / L nitric acid as a medium, transfer the solution to the volumetric flask, make up to volume with 4-6 mol / L nitric acid and shake well to obtain an aqueous uranium stock solution.

[0016] Among them, the aqueous uranium stock solution obtained using the U3O8 certified standard substance is the aqueous uranium standard solution, and the aqueous uranium stock solution obtained using the UO3 reference standard substance is the aqueous uranium solution.

[0017] Furthermore, the U3O8 certified standard material is GBW 04201.

[0018] Furthermore, the heating temperature is 230-290°C.

[0019] Further, in S2, the preparation of 30 vol% tributyl phosphate-kerosene comprises:

[0020] Tributyl phosphate was added to kerosene, and the mixture was washed three times with 5wt% Na2CO3 solution (1:1), washed with water until neutral, washed three times with 1mol / L nitric acid, and washed with water until neutral.

[0021] Furthermore, the volume ratio of tributyl phosphate to kerosene is 3:7.

[0022] Further, in S3, the aqueous uranium stock solution prepared in S1 is extracted with 30 vol% tributyl phosphate-kerosene prepared in S2 to prepare an organic uranium standard solution, comprising:

[0023] The aqueous uranium stock solution prepared in S1 was extracted with 30 vol% tributyl phosphate-kerosene prepared in S2, the residual solution was transferred to a volumetric flask, diluted to the mark with water, and then the extracted organic phase was transferred to another volumetric flask to make up the volume to obtain an organic uranium standard solution.

[0024] Furthermore, in S4, the concentration of uranium in the aqueous uranium stock solution prepared in S1 and the raffinate in S3 is determined and analyzed, including:

[0025] The aqueous uranium stock solution is titrated using an automatic potentiometric titrator, wherein the concentration of the aqueous uranium standard solution is known and does not need to be titrated; the uranium concentration in the raffinate is determined using a trace uranium analyzer;

[0026] When [UO2 2+ ] 原液 :[UO2 2+ ] 萃残液 ≥10000:1, it can be considered that all the uranium in the aqueous uranium solution is transferred to the organic phase.

[0027] Furthermore, in S5, the concentration of the organic phase uranium standard solution is calculated and the organic phase uranium standard curve is established by the following calculation formula:

[0033] The organic phase uranium standard solution prepared by S3 was diluted step by step to obtain multiple groups of organic phase uranium standards. The concentrations of the multiple groups of organic phase uranium standards were measured by X-ray fluorescence spectrometer, and the organic phase uranium standard curve was established with the multiple groups of organic phase uranium standard concentrations as the abscissa and the integrated area of ​​light intensity as the ordinate.

[0034] Furthermore, uncertainty assessment is required when establishing the standard curve for organic uranium, including:

[0069] (5) Combined standard uncertainty

[0070]

[0071] The relative uncertainty introduced by the preparation of organic phase uranium standard using U3O8 certified reference material is 0.43%.

[0072] Considering that the UO3 reference standard material also needs to be determined by an automatic positioning titrator (refer to the nuclear standard EJ-T20164-2018, RSD is 0.04%), the uncertainty caused by the determination needs to be considered, and the Saybel formula can be obtained:

[0073]

[0074] However, UO3 is not a certified standard and its relative standard uncertainty is

[0075]

[0076] The above data show that the relative uncertainty introduced by the preparation of organic phase uranium standards using U3O8 certified standard materials and the preparation of organic phase uranium working standards using UO3 reference standard materials after automatic positioning titration is 0.43%.

[0190] (4) Combined standard uncertainty

[0191] Considering that the UO3 reference standard material also needs to be determined by an automatic positioning titrator (refer to the nuclear standard EJ-T20164-2018, RSD is 0.04%), the uncertainty caused by the determination needs to be considered, and the Saybel formula can be obtained:

[0192]

[0193] However, UO3 is not a certified standard and its relative standard uncertainty is

[0194]

[0195] The above data show that the relative uncertainty introduced by the preparation of organic phase uranium standards using U3O8 certified standard materials and the preparation of organic phase uranium working standards using UO3 reference standard materials after automatic positioning titration is 0.43%.
