Use of sulfoxides as novel synergists in the solvent extraction of uranium (VI) by various substituted diketones

  • 1. Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Bombay (India). Radiochemistry Div.

Description

The role of symmetric long chain dialkyl sulfoxides as synergists in the solvent extraction of uranyl ion into toluene with heptafluoro dimethyl octanedione (HFOD) from nitric acid solutions has been investigated. The synergistic reactivity of different sulfoxides follows the order : DPSO < DBSO < DISO < DHSO < BESO. Five β-diketones namely HTFA, HTTA, HFOD, HPMBP, HPMTFP are studied in combination with bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfoxide (BESO) to reveal their extraction ability. (author). 4 refs., 2 tabs
