Abstract

The extraction of U(VI), Th(IV), and REE(III) from HCl solutions with solutions of diphenyl(dibutylcarbamoylmethyl)phosphine oxide in dichloroethane in the presence of Fe(III) was studied. An increase in the Fe concentration in the organic phase leads to a considerable increase in the distribution ratios of U(VI), Th(IV), and REE(III), which is caused by transfer into the organic phase of mixed complexes MCl m−n (FeCl4) n solvated by the extractant molecules. A macroporous styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer impregnated with diphenyl(dibutylcarbamoylmethyl)phosphine oxide can be used for concentrating U(VI), Th(IV), and REE(III) from HCl solutions in the presence of Fe(III).
