New Extraction Chromatographic Resins or New Tools for the Tool Box

This article explores the properties and applications of new extraction chromatographic resins, including tetraalkyl diglycolamide (DGA) resins, PSM 125, UTEVA-2, LN2, MnO2, and Sr2 resins. These resins offer improved capabilities for actinide retention, uranium selectivity, lanthanide separation, and strontium selectivity.

  1. New Extraction Chromatographic Resins or New Tools for the Tool Box E. Philip Horwitz and Daniel R. McAlister PG Research Foundation, Inc. 8205 South Cass Avenue, Suite 111 Darien, IL 60561

  2. Contents • Tetraalkyl diglycolamide (DGA) resins: DGA resins have unique actinide retention properties. • PSM 125 sterically hindered neutral phosphonate [di(4-methylpentyl-2-oxy) isobutylphosphonate]DMPe(iBuP) resin: PSM 125 is similar to UTEVA but has improved uranium selectivity. • UTEVA-2: A robust tetra- and hexavalent actinide selective resin designed for waste treatment or the isolation of Th and U from large volumes of solutions. • LN2 Resin: A new high resolution resin designed to separate heavy lanthanide pairs. • MnO2 Resin: A resin fabricated for use in columns to remove Ra from water samples. (To be presented by Bill Burnett) • Sr2 Resin: A more robust strontium selective resin capable of separating Ra from Ba.
