Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The effective separation of minor-actinides (MA) has been desired to develop partitioning and transmutation. This study, from the viewpoint of chemical bonding, revealed a separation mechansim of MA from lanthanides (Ln) and demonstrated molecular design with high separation performance of MA from Ln using computational chemistry. We established computational method by benchmarking with spectroscopic data and extraction experiments and analyzed the chemical bonding. The result indicated that MA/Ln selectivity strongly correlates to the bond overlap between f-orbital and donor-atoms. We also designed the separation material of MA from Ln. It was expected that the separation performance can be improved compared to an original separation material.
