URANIUM AND PLUTONIUM EXTRACTION BY ORGANOPHOSPHORUS COMPOUNDS

Organic phosphates, phosphonates, phosphinates, and phosphine oxides are compared as solvents for uranium and plutonium nitrates. Distribution coefficients for U(VI) and Pu(IV) and (V) indicate a large difference in solvent strength among these groups of compounds. The introduction of an electronegative group greatly reduces the solvent strength. The P --- 0 stretching frequency can be correlated with solvent strength for these compounds. Some solid complexes of the organophosphorus compounds with uranyl nitrate have been isolated. (auth)
