Description

The extraction of U(VI) and Pu(IV) by tris(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate (TEHP), a higher homologue of commonly used tributyl phosphate (TBP), is discussed. The distribution data is analysed and the complexes formed have been established. An efficient extraction of both U(VI) and Pu(IV) from 2 M HNO3 is readily accomplished. Stripping of both of these cations is possible from the loaded organic phase by commonly used strippants. (author). 3 refs., 2 tabs
