Transport behaviour of actinides viz. Am3+, Pu4+. and UO22+ was investigated from nitric acid feed conditions using FTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) flat sheet supported liquid membranes (SLM) containing an irradiated solvent system comprising of N,N,N',N'-tetra-n-octyldiglycolamide (TODGA) as the carrier extractant and N,N-di-n-hexyloctanamide (DHOA) as the phase modifier. The present studies were carried out in order to understand the effect of irradiation on the long term reusability of the SLM and the decontamination behaviour in the absorbed dose range of 0-100 MRad. The studies using irradiated carrier included those with irradiated TODGA without any phase modifier and with 0.1 M as well as 0.5 M DHOA as the phase modifier. Transport behaviour of all the metal ions were found to be seriously affected with increasing radiation dose which was reflected in the decreasing percentage transport (%T) as well as permeability co-efficient (P) values. Though Sr(II) transport was quite significant with all the three unirradiated solvent systems, it was surprisingly low (<5%) when solvents exposed to 100 MRad dose were used in the SLM. Separation factors (S.F.) of the actinides over Sr(II) were calculated and were found to increase at higher radiation doses suggesting possibility of getting better decontamination on prolonged use of the supported liquid membrane system.
