Abstract

The separation of Am and Cm by using the tertiary pyridine resin embedded in silica beads was studied in nitric acid/methanol mixed solvent system. This separation system of Am and Cm is very simple and easy. The adsorption and separation behaviors of Am and Cm were investigated with changing the nitric acid and the methanol concentrations. It was confirmed that Am can be almost completely separated from Cm.
