Intensified demulsification and separation of thermal oxide reprocessing interfacial crud (THORP-IFC) simulants

Reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel for the recovery of the fissionable materials (mainly uranium and plutonium), is performed by solvent extraction. Thermal oxide reprocessing (THORP) is the most widely used technique in which processing fluids gradually degrade and form stable emulsions that are re...
