abstract = {The recycling of Americium is considered a viable option
for future extended nuclear fuel cycles. How-ever, the
separation of Am(III) from Cm(III) and trivalent lanthanides
contained in used nuclear fuel is still one of the most
difficult challenges in element separations, and only few
examples of selective Am(III) separation exist to date
(e.g., EXAm).[1] Within the course of recent European
collaborative pro-jects, a chemical system was developed
making use of the opposite selectivity of the well-known
TODGA (N,N,N',N'-tetraoctyldiglycolamide, Figure 1)
extractant and the hydrophilic sulphonated SO3-Ph-BTBP
(sodium
3,3’,3’’,3’’’-([2,2’-bipyridine]-6,6’-diylbis(1,2,4-triazine-3,5,6-triyl))-tetrabenzenesul-fonate,
Figure 1). This so-called AmSEL process was developed to
selectively strip Am(III) from a loaded TODGA solvent
containing Am, Cm and trivalent lanthanides.[2] Stripping
kinetics were measured in single centrifugal contactors and
a flow-sheet is currently under development using the French
PAREX code.[3] This presentation will highlight the
development of the AmSEL process and discuss the current
flow-sheet. A process demonstration in our 16-stage
centrifugal contactor setup is planned soon.Funding for this
research was provided by the European Commission through the
GEN IV Integrated Oxide Fuels Recycling Strategies (GENIORS)
project, grant agreement number 730227 and the Parti-tioning
And Transmuter Research Initiative in a Collaborative
Innovation Action (PATRICIA) project, grant agreement number
