Publication number: 20020122762Abstract: Most part of an amount of uranium contained in the spent nuclear fuel is removed by making fluorine or a fluorochemical act on the spent nuclear fuel to convert the uranium into UF6, and the uranium is purified through a simple method of distilling the UF6 together with a absorbent. After removing the most part of the amount of uranium, the remaining nuclear fuel material is dissolved and then transferred to an extraction process to recover plutonium. By doing so, a small sized dry process can be employed as a uranium purification process. Since the nuclear fuel material is dissolved and extracted after removing most part of an amount of uranium, a volume of processing solution can be reduced and the machine installation scale can be made small. Accordingly, the reprocessing facility can be extremely downsized.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 7, 2001Publication date: September 5, 2002Applicant: HITACHI, LTD.Inventors: Tetsuo Fukasawa, Masanori Takahashi, Youji Shibata, Akira Sasahira, Mamoru Kamoshida

Patent number: 5430234Abstract: Unreacted phosphorus and heavy metals, such as arsenic and antimony, are removed in environmentally acceptable form from the non-aqueous still bottoms residue resulting from the production of PCl.sub.3, by reacting the residue with an excess of calcium hydroxide in the form of an aqueous lime slurry and separating the reaction product into a precipitate and a filtrate. The reaction with lime slurry may be preceded by hydrolysis with water. The precipitate passes the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) test and the filtrate contains less than 5 ppm of the heavy metals, thus permitting disposal by landfill and sewering, respectively, under EPA regulations.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 1993Date of Patent: July 4, 1995Assignee: FMC CorporationInventors: Terry W. Willis, Joseph H. Finley, Monte L. Uhrig, Harry M. Smith

Patent number: 5310529Abstract: There is disclosed an improved process for the preparation of phosphorus trichloride wherein elemental phosphorus is caused to react with chlorine. The improvement comprises continuous, high speed analysis of the contents of the reactor whereby the reaction is controlled to produce less phosphorus pentachloride and other by-products. The analysis is performed by a laser Raman spectrometer associated with an optrode having a remotely located probe head and a circulating sampling system to continuously provide fresh sample to the probe head continuously. Also disclosed is apparatus for the automatic control of the reaction by control of the reactant feed to the reactor in response to the on-line, continuous analysis of the reactor contents.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 1992Date of Patent: May 10, 1994Assignee: Monsanto CompanyInventors: Macaulay S. Feld, David O. Fisher, John J. Freeman, Gregory J. Gervasio, Mark A. Hochwalt, Leonard F. Laskowski, Evan E. Thomsen

Patent number: 5252306Abstract: There is disclosed an improved process for the semi-continuous production of phosphorus trichloride by the reaction of elemental phosphorus and chlorine in a liquid phosphorus trichloride layer. In accordance with the present invention periodic termination of the process by discontinuing phosphorus feed thereby creating a heel containing residual phosphorus is rendered more safe and less waste is produced by the improvement which comprises chlorinating the residual phosphorus at a substantially constant flow rate and continuing the chlorine feed rate until after observing at least one of either a step-wise decrease in the pressure within the reactor or a step-wise decrease in the flow rate of phosphorus trichloride removed from the reactor and then terminating the chlorine feed when said pressure and flow rate achieve a substantially steady state at a lower value.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 1992Date of Patent: October 12, 1993Assignee: Monsanto CompanyInventors: James L. Champion, Chung Y. Shen, Chen-Hsyong Yang
