Abstract

The distribution of thorium nitrate has been determined at room temperature between water and each of the following solvents: isoamyl alcohol, n-hexyl alcohol, methyl isobutyl ketone, methyl n-amyl ketone, and methyl n-hexyl ketone. These five organic solvents appear to be the most promising for the liquid-liquid extraction of thorium nitrate from aqueous solutions also containing the nitrates of the rare earths and zirconium. The effect of added nitric acid has been ascertained on the systems containing n-hexyl alcohol and methyl n-hexyl ketone. Some preliminary extractions with methyl n-hexyl ketone are described to show the applicability of the conclusions drawn from these distribution data.
