Division Spotlight
Accelerator Applications
The division was organized to promote the advancement of knowledge of the use of particle accelerator technologies for nuclear and other applications. It focuses on production of neutrons and other particles, utilization of these particles for scientific or industrial purposes, such as the production or destruction of radionuclides significant to energy, medicine, defense or other endeavors, as well as imaging and diagnostics.

An investigation has been made of the selective solvent extraction of beryllium from sulfate liquors by means of esters of orthophosphoric acid. The sulfate liquors were obtained from the treatment of beryl flotation concentrates. The preferred extractant is di-(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid dissolved in kerosene. Tests with this solvent have provided design data for the forward- extraction and solvent-stripping processes. Tests with actual leach liquors showed that high-grade products were obtained by the procedures described.
