Extraction of Plutonium(IV) by Dibutylphosphoric Acid; EXTRACTION DU PLUTONIUM(IV) PAR L'ACIDE DIBUTYLPHOSPHORIQUE

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4136928

The different parameters (acidity, nitrate, ionic strength), affecting the extraction of nitrate solutions of Pu(IV) by organic dibutylphosphoric acid solutions in benzene was studied. A mechanism is proposed for the extraction, at constant ionic strength, which takes into account the formation of nitrate complexes of Pu(IV) in the aqueous phase. The formula of the extracted species is
