THE EXTRACTION OF ACTINIDE ELEMENTS FROM NITRIC ACID SOLUTIONS BY TRI-n- OCTYLAMINE

Journal Article · · J. Inorg. & Nuclear Chem.

The extraction of Th, Pa, U, Np, Pu, and Am from nitric acid solutions by tri-n-octylamine in xylene was investigated and the effects of acid and amine concentrations were measured. The extraction of Np(IV) and Pu(IV) was found to be much greater than any of the other oxidation states studied. The nitrate complex species predominating in the amine phase is postulated in the case of the tetravalent ions. (auth)
