Description

In the research of ordinary extraction chemistry, more attention has been paid on the composition and structure of extracted adduct. Through the investigation of several typical extraction system commonly used in hydrometallurgy, the influence of the formation of reversed micelles on distribution ratio must be considered in the system with amine extractant and in the synergic system of acid and neutral extractants. The studies on reversed micelles and microemulsions in extraction system were reviewed. The studies on interfacial chemistry model of uranium extracted by P204 and the reversed micelles model of uranium sulfate by the trioctylamine have been systematically investigated. The occurring of third phases in some extraction system was explained in term of the formation of Winsor III microemulsion
