Abstract

Efficient utilization of uranium resources and minimization of nuclear waste are critical challenges for the sustainable development of nuclear energy. The separation of actinides (An) from lanthanides (Ln) is essential to reduce the impact of neutron poisons and enhance the efficiency of Partitioning & Transmutation (P&T) processes. In this study, we propose the use of a concentrated AlCl3 solution as a selective leaching agent to separate Ln from An in spent nuclear fuel (SNF). At a mass ratio of 1:15, the AlCl3 solution effectively dissolves nearly 100?% of lanthanide oxides from simulated SNF at 75?°C, while the coexisting actinide oxides remain largely insoluble. The high separation factors between Ln2O3 and AnO2 (average of 1630 for Ln/U and 490 for Ln/Th) provide a novel and efficient approach for the selective separation of lanthanides from SNF. The lanthanides are subsequently recovered through oxalic acid precipitation and calcination to produce Ln2O3. Based on our characterization results, the primary driving force for the dissolution of Ln2O3 is the acidity of the H2O-AlCl3 system, with the lattice energies of oxides identified as the key factor affecting the differential dissolution of Ln(III) and U/Th with higher valent under identical conditions. This selective dissolution and separation process using AlCl3 solution presents a highly efficient method for the removal of lanthanides from SNF and improves the utilization of nuclear fission products. With its mild operating conditions and reduced environmental impact, this method offers a promising approach for the recovery of rare earth elements from nuclear waste and other secondary resources.
