Abstract

The solvent extraction behavior of thorium and uranium in the system of TBEDP-kerosene and nitric acid solution is described. Infrared absorption studies were also undertaken to obtain the information on the organic phase containing uranium. Results for both elements in the extraction wtth TBP from nitric acid are added for comparison. The acid dependence curves for TBEDP and TBP are shown to have considerable resemblance; maximum extractions of uranium(VI) from nitric acid solutions are observed at about 6 M nitric acid concentration in both cases.
