- Additional information
- Hydroxamic acids (HAs) are used for actinide recovery in new reprocessing routes being developed by the UK (Advanced PUREX), Europe (GANEX) and the US (UREX). Co-funded by EPSRC (EP/G037426/1), NNL (contract 1008206) and Lloyd’s Register Foundation (LRF, G0025), this work provides a comprehensive description of the thermodynamics/kinetics of the behaviour of key actinide neptunium in the presence of HAs, providing valuable technical underpinning to the above. It led to further Advanced PUREX work via award of two EPSRC-LRF funded studentships (EP/L015390/1, £100k each) and two grants totalling £1M from the BEIS-funded National Nuclear Innovation Programme (NNL/PO/1017417, NNL/NIP/003) (robin.j.taylor@uknnl.com)
