Title: Study of Pulsed Columns with the System. Uranyl Nitrate-Nitric Acid-Water- Tributylphosphate; ETUDE DES COLONNES A PULSATIONS A L'AIDE DU SYSTEME NITRATE D'URANYLE-ACIDE NITRIQUEEAU-TRIBUTYLPHOSPHATE

The performsnce of a pulsed column with perforated plates was studied with the aid of a uranyl nitrate-nitric acid --water --tributyl phosphate system. The extraction of uranium from an aqueous acidic solution by an organic solvent and the extraction of uranium from organic solutions by water were the two cases investigated. The variation of the efficiency and the capacity of the pulsed column was determined as a function of the pulse amplitude and frequency, of the total flow rate, of the diameter of the holes, and of the choice of dispersed phase. The results showed that for a given amplitude and total flow rate the efficiency has a maximum with an increase in frequency. (J.S.R.)
