EXTRACTION FROM SOLUTIONS OF PERCHLORIC ACID BY TRIBUTYLPHOSPHATE. I. PARTITION COEFFICIENTS FOR ZIRCONIUM, THORIUM, CERIUM, PROMETHIUM AND YTTRIUM

Journal Article · · J. Inorg. & Nuclear Chem.
Zirconium, thorium, cerium, promethium, and yttrium are well extracted by TBP from concentrated solutions of perchloric acid. Partition coefficients increase steadily with increasing acid concentration, except at low acidities. Thorium is better extracted than zirconium and the ratio of partition coefficients is constant at all acidities. Cerium and promethium have the same partition coefficient, and the coefficient for yttrium is somewhat smaller. (auth)
