THE RECIPROCAL EFFECT OF THORIUM AND CERIUM (IV) NITRATES ON CO-EXTRACTION WITH TRIBUTYLPHOSPHATE (TBP) (in Russian)

OSTI ID:4707616
The extraction of thorium and cerium (IV) nitrates by Tl3P was investigated in the presence of 1.5N nliric acid in the equilibrium aqueous phase. The presence of a small amount of cerium in the aqueous phase resuited in a sharp drop in the distribution coefficient of thorium (K/sub T/). This effect was more pronounced at low concentrations of thorium. Cerium replaces thorium in the organic phase. At a concentration of about 18 g/l of cerium, thorium is a weak salting agent, but at a concentration of cerium greater than 40 g/l, thorium has hardly any effect on the extraction of cerium. These data are valid not only for 100% TBP, but also for 20 and 50 vol % TBP in CCl/sub 4/. The addition of hydrogen peroxide to reduce Ce (IV) to Ce (III) improved the extraction of thorium from monazite sands. (TTT)
