Abstract

Extraction behaviors of Pd(II) in the TRUEX and PUREX solvent extractions were studied by using octyl(phenyl)-N,N-diisobutylcarbamoylmethylphosphine oxide. The effect of scrubbing in the TRUEX solvent extraction was demonstrated by adding oxalic acid. The distribution ratios of palladium (D Pd's) in the diluted region of [HNO3] were found to depend strongly on the fraction of cationic species, Pd(NO3)+, existed in the aqueous phase. The gradual decrease of DPd with the increase of acidity beyond [H+] ≈ 1 mol·dm-3 was controlled by the formation of the anionic species Pd(NO3)3 -.
