Abstract

Kinetic studies of stripping of Np(IV) from 30% Tri-Butyl-Phosphate/Odourless Kerosene (TBP/OK) into a nitric acid solution containing acetohydroxamic acid (CH3CONHOH) have been investigated using a Lewis cell. The different parameters affecting the back-extraction rate of Np(IV) such as Np, TBP, nitric acid, nitrate, acetohydroxamic acid(AHA) concentration in addition to temperature, stirring speed and special interfacial area were separately studied and a rate equation was deduced. Results have been compared among themselves and other published works on similar systems. Mechanisms of stripping processes have been proposed.
