Abstract

Fundamental investigations in the kinetics of the electrolysis in the system uranium-plutonium-nitric acid-hydrazine and corrosion tests with various electrode materials led to the development of ″in-situ″ electrolytic extraction equipments without diaphragm. The behavior of Pu, Np, and U in a 16-stage electrolytic mixer-settler is discussed. Experiments with a ″fissium″ mixture show that deleterious effects caused by fission products, are not to be expected. The development of an electrolytic cell for the oxidation of plutonium between the Purex cycles has been started. Extremely high current efficiencies were achieved in a cell, which works without diaphragm.
