      abstract     = {This review provides a comprehensive overview of published
                      hydrometallurgicalchemical processes capable of separating
                      americium from curium and the lanthanides.A search for
                      highly-selective and robust americium separation methods is
                      motivated bythe fact that americium isotopes contribute
                      significantly to the long-term heat load andresidual
                      radiotoxicity of high level waste originating from the PUREX
                      process,nowadays still the key reprocessing technology to
                      recycle uranium and plutonium fromspent nuclear fuel. The
                      separation (partitioning) and subsequent nuclear
                      transmutation(or burning) of americium would allow a
                      substantial cost saving in the construction ofan underground
                      final repository and provide safety benefits – highly
                      relevant for theexploitation of such a facility over
                      extended periods of time. Besides the discussion ofbasic
                      properties of the various separation methods, an evaluation
                      of their compatibilitywith upstream and downstream processes
                      as well as the treatment of secondary wastestreams is
