Abstract
AbstractPrimene JM‐T, D2EHPA and TBP were used as solvents to extract 230Th from sulphuric acid uranium leachate and barren solutions from a Saskatchewan, Canada uranium mill. This was done with the objective of eliminating the source for 226Ra production in the tailings in perpetuity. A 0.1 vol% Primene JM‐T, 5 vol% isodecanol (modifier), and kerosene diluent mixture was found to completely remove thorium from the solutions. The thorium was stripped from the loaded organic with a 15 wt% ammonium carbonate solution.
