Tetravalent uranium extraction by HDEHP in kerosene from phosphate medium
- Atomic Energy Authority, Cairo (Egypt)
The extraction of U(IV) by di-2-ethylhexyl phosphoric acid (HDEHP) in kerosene from phosphoric acid was measured spectrophotometrically. The effect of extractant, phosphoric acid, uranium, Fe(II) and Fe(III) concentrations on the extraction process were separately investigated. The effect of different reagents and temperature on the stripping of U(IV) were also tested. The results obtained showed that the extraction increases with the increase in HDEHP and Fe(III) concentrations while it decreases with the increase in phosphoric acid, uranium and Fe(II) concentration. The use of high phosphoric acid concentration as strip solutions at low temperature was found to give good stripping results. 11 refs., 8 figs., 2 tabs.
