Abstract

The extraction of Np(V) in the presence of U(VI) or Nd(III) was studied with 0.2 M CMPO- decalin and with 0.2 M CMPO-1.4 M TBP-n-dodecane. Distribution ratios of Np(V) decreased with increasing the concentration of Nd(III), which was considered to be explained by the decrease in the concentration of free CMPO. On the other hand, distribution ratios increased as the concentration of U(VI) increased. The absorption spectrum of Np(V) in organic solution showed a new absorption peak which was probably attributable to the formation of cation-cation complexes of Np(V) and U(VI). Assuming the formation of cation-cation complexes, the dependence of distribution ratio of Np(V) on the concentration of U(VI) was found to be semi-quantitatively explained.
