The extraction behaviour of neptunium from 3 M nitric acid as well as simulated pressurised heavy water reactor high level radioactive waste (PHWR-HLW) solution by 30% TBP/dodecane was studied using AKUFVE. Np(IV)/Np(V) was oxidised to Np(VI) using oxidising agents, such as K2Cr2O7, VO2 + and NaNO2. Stripping of neptunium from the loaded TBP phase was studied using reducing agents like hydrogen peroxide, ascorbic acid, hydroxyl-amine hydrochloride and hydrazine sulphate. Results of these extraction and stripping studies have been discussed in this paper.
