Solvent extraction of uranium(VI) LIX-54 and its mixtures (Preprint No. CT-15)

  • 1. Utkal Univ., Bhubaneswar (India). Dept. of Chemistry

Description

Studies on solvent extraction of uranium(VI) by a commercially available chelating extractant LIX-54 (a β-diketone derivative) (HA), and its mixtures with tri-n-butyl phosphate (TBP) in the diluent benzene show quantitative extraction by mixtures of 5 per cent LIX-54 and 5 per cent TBP at pH 4.3. Influence of different proportions of LIX-54 or TBP in the mixtures on the extraction of the same metal ion has been studied. Pronounced synergism has been observed. The nature of the extracted species seems to be (UO2(OH)(A)(HA)(TBP)) as determined from slope-analyses. Slopes of the linear plots were computed employing regression analysis and variance in results has been shown. (author). 7 refs
