Solvent extraction of heptavalent technetium by tributyl phosphate

The solvent extraction of heptavalent technetium from aqueous nitric or hydrochloric acid by tributyl phosphate in n-dodecane (TBP-NDD) has been studied over a wide range of TBP and acid concentrations at 25, 50, and 60/sup 0/C. The extraction was found to proceed according to the reaction 3TBP + H/sup +/ + TcO/sub 4//sup -/ ..-->.. (HTcO/sub 4/ 3TBP). A discussion of possible reaction mechanisms is presented, along with values for ..delta..G, ..delta..H, ..delta..S, and the equilibrium constant for the extraction reaction. Finally, evidence for the coextraction of technetium by uranyl ions is discussed. 10 figures, 5 tables.
