SEPARATION OF U$sup 233$ BY EXTRACTION

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4039382

A process is given for the separation of U/sup 233/ from irradiated thorium. In this process, irradiated thorium compounds are dissolved in nitnic acid and subjected to a plurality of precipitations and redissolving steps with MnO/sub 2/ carrier which carries Pa/sup 233/. Pa/sup 233/ is redissolved and th e solution stood for a period sufficient to convert Pa/sup 233/ to U/sup 233/, which is then extracted by diethyl ether in the presence of nitrate ions. (D.L.C.)
