PARTITION OF URANIUM AND THORIUM BETWEEN SOLUTIONS OF NITRIC AND PERCHLORIC ACIDS AND FOUR ORGANIC SOLVENTS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4285431

The extraction of uranyl and thorium ion by cyclic ethers is described. The extraction procedures with cyclic ethers are analogous to those of alcohols, ketones, and ethers, where salting agents are required. Extraction equilibria of uranyl and thorium nitrates and perchlorates were determined. The partition was imvestigated by tetrahydrosylvane (THS), tetrahydropyrane (THP), 2-ethyl- tetrahydrofurane (E-THF), and 2,5dimethyl-tetrahydrofurane (M-THS) in various concentrations of nitric and perchloric acid.
