The ability of organic compounds that contain the phosphoryl group to extract lanthanides, actinides, and zirconium has been reported. However, most of the work reported has dealt with tri-n-butyl phosphate (TBP) and not with efforts to improve selectivity by altering the substituents on the phosphorus atom. The objective of the work presented was to examine the potential of several trialkyl phosphates and dialkyl alkylphosphonates for extracting uranium and thorium from nitric acid solations and for separating them from zircouium.
