SYNERGIC EFFECTS IN THE SOLVENT EXTRACTION OF THE ACTINIDES. II. PLUTONIUM(VI) AND NEPTUNIUM(V)

Journal Article · · J. Inorg. & Nuclear Chem.
By using plutonium-239 and neptunium-237 the solvent extraction of plutonium (VI) and neptunium (V) from nltric acid into mixtures of 1,1,1- trifluoro-3-2' -thenoylacetone (TTA) and tri-n-butyl phosphate (TBP) in cyclohexane was studied. The extraction coefficient is found to be greater for such mixtures than for either component alone. The formula of the species extracted from plutonyl nitrate was shown to be PuO/sub 2/X/sub 2/,TBP (where HX = TTA). The species extracted from neptunyl nitrate appears to be HNpO/sub 2/X/ sub 2/ TBP. Some equilibrium constants are reported. (auth)
