Abstract

The effects of nitric acid concentration, uranyl nitrate concentration, and temperature were investigated in order to determine the optimum conditions for the extraction of uranyl nitrate from nitric acid solutions by TBP. It is apparent from the results that greater than 97 per cent extraction is obtained when uranyl nitrate solution of less than 10 g/l. concentration and containing 6 M HNO 3 is extracted with 19 per cent TBP in kerosene at a temperature of less than 20°C.
