What is Actinide Recovery from High-Level Waste about?

The study investigates the recovery of actinides, specifically americium and plutonium, from high-level waste using a strippant composed of formic acid, hydrazine hydrate, and citric acid in a counter-current mixer-settler setup. Results indicate that nearly complete recovery of americium is achievable, while approximately 1.5% of plutonium remains in the organic phase, suggesting further optimization is needed. This method significantly reduces secondary waste generation compared to traditional nitric acid
