In nuclear and industrial facilities, fine particles, including radioactive residues—can accumulate on the interior surfaces of ventilation ducts and equipment, posing serious safety and operational risks.
The invention teaches a method for separating uranium and the transuranic actinides neptunium, plutonium, and americium from nitric acid solutions by co-crystallization upon lowering the temperature from 60 C to 20 C or lower.
High-gradient magnetic filtration (HGMF) is a non-destructive separation technique that captures magnetic constituents from a matrix containing other non-magnetic species. One characteristic that actinide metals share across much of the group is that they are magnetic.
A finite element approach integrated with a novel constitute model to predict phase change, residual stresses and part deformation.
The technologies provides for regeneration of anion-exchange resin.

Ruthenium is recovered from used nuclear fuel in an oxidizing environment by depositing the volatile RuO4 species onto a polymeric substrate.
Currently available cast Al alloys are not suitable for various high-performance conductor applications, such as rotor, inverter, windings, busbar, heat exchangers/sinks, etc.
The invented alloys are a new family of Al-Mg alloys. This new family of Al-based alloys demonstrate an excellent ductility (10 ± 2 % elongation) despite the high content of impurities commonly observed in recycled aluminum.
This invention describes a new class of amphiphilic chelators (extractants) that can selectively separate large, light rare earth elements from heavy, small rare earth elements in solvent extraction schemes.
The invention presented here addresses key challenges associated with counterfeit refrigerants by ensuring safety, maintaining system performance, supporting environmental compliance, and mitigating health and legal risks.
