Abstract

Mechanisms of formation of electrode potential with a pseudoliquid membrane phase including uranyl nitrate complexes coordinatively solvated by tri-n-butyl phosphate were investigated. It was stated that the electrode function of these membranes could be of cationic or anionic character depending on concentration UO 2 (NO 3) 2 in an aqueous phase. The influence of extraction and salting out on membrane phase composition and the slope of calibration curve was studied. It was shown that in the concentration range c > 0.1 M the electrode potential depends on value of salt distribution coefficient between aqueous and organic phases. The dependence describing the electrode function in this concentration range was derived.
