Abstract

The extraction of microamounts of U(VI), Th(IV), and REE(III) from HNO3 solutions in the form of complexes with 2,6-bis(diphenylphosphorylmethyl)pyridine N-oxide (I) was studied in relation to the kind of organic diluent and to the HNO3 concentration in the equilibrium aqueous phase. The stoichiometry of the extractable complexes was determined. With respect to the ability to extract Th(IV) and REE(III), compound I considerably surpasses tetraphenylmethylenediphosphine dioxide and tetraalkyl-substituted analogs of I.
