Description

The recovery of thorium from the H2SO4 and HNO3 leach solutions by fractional precipitation and solvent extraction (SX) methods were studied for Turkish thorium ore of KTS-1. Precipitations were made by NH4OH through controlled pH and Th precipitation efficiencies were determined. In solvent extraction studies, tri-butyl-phosphate (TBP) were used as solvent and factors affecting the thorium extraction were investigated. (author)
