A simple, inexpensive process for recovering Pu in solid form from organic solvents is described. Oxalic acid precipitates the Pu in a HNO/sub 3/- solvent solution. In the example, CaF/sub 2/ slag was dissolved in HNO/sub 3/ AI(NO/sub 3/)/sub 3/ solution and extracted with TBP in kerosene. The extract was treated with 0.25 M oxalic acid solution with stirring for 30 minutes. The aqueous oxalate phase containing the Pu was collected and washed. (T.R.H.)
