title: Chemical separation and ICP-AES determination of 22 metallic elements in U and Pu matrices using cyanex-923 extractant and studies on stripping of U and Pu.
abstract: Comprehensive studies have been carried out on the extraction behavior of uranium and plutonium matrices using cyanex-923 extractant. The near total extraction of U/Pu and quantitative separation of 22 metallic elements at trace levels has been established using inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). The studies carried out on back extraction of U/Pu from organic phase have established the near total recovery of these matrices into the aqueous phase using 1 M Na(2)CO(3) and saturated oxalic acid, respectively.
