The solvent extraction of uranium with dialkylphosphoric acids, monoalkylphosphoric acids, trialkyl phosphates, dialkyl alkylphosphonates, and phosphine oxide is described. The extraction of alkali metals, alkaline earths, yttrium, lanthanum, lanthanides, titanium, zirconium, and hafnium with alkyl phosphoric compounds is also included. It is concluded that these new reagents, unlike tributyl phosphate, have the advantage of recovering uranium from nearly any solution. Schematics are shown of the Dapex and the monoalkylphosphoric acid processes. (J.H.M.)
