Patent ·
OSTI ID:5962914

The invention concerns a method for the liquid/liquid extractio of uranium form phosphoric acid with the aid of alkylamine polyphosphate and/or alkylaine metaphospate compounds, dissolved in organic solvents insoluble in water. The uraniferous phosphoric acid is brought into contact with an organic phase compound of a long-chain alkylamine polyphosphate and/or alkylamine metaphosphate compound ad an organic solvent. The uranium is transferred from the aqueous into the organic phase from the aqueous into the organic phase form which the uranium is re-extracted in the known way.
