NEUP CINR-18-15263: X-ray Studies of Interfacial Molecular Complexes in ALSEP Back-Extraction

The proposed project will use synchrotron X-rays to characterize the interfacial molecular complexes (of extractants and radiologically derived impurities, complexants, buffers, and metal ions) formed during ALSEP back-extraction. This work addresses the critical knowledge gap of slow stripping kinetics in ALSEP, as well as the influence of radiolytic degradation products on the stripping.
