A process for extracting Th from acidic aqueous solutions is outlined which uses a phosphorylated cellulose to effect the extraction. The phosphorylated cellulose is prepared in a way according to British Patent 899,284 and the hydrogen form allowed to stand in water for at least 3 days. The improvement in Th adsorption relative to phosphate adsorption with standing in water is shown. (D.L.C.)
