Abstract: The hydrometallurgical separation concepts for the heterogeneous recycling of irradiatednuclear fuel developed within European collaborative projects are presented and discussed. Most ofthese concepts were developed within European collaborative projects and involve solvent extractionprocesses separating trivalent minor actinides (with a focus on americium) from the raffinate solutionfrom processes such as PUREX (Plutonium Uranium Reduction Extraction) or an evolution ofPUREX. Depending on the process chemistry applied, process schemes each consisting of one, twoor three solvent extraction cycles are required to obtain a pure americium product. The various solventextraction processes are briefly introduced. The most suitable choices are selected and the processschemes are compared to one another.
