Comparison of extraction of U(Ⅵ) and Th(Ⅳ) from nitric acid media by di(2-ethylhexyl) sulfoxide(DEHSO) and by TBP
A study on extraction of U(Ⅵ) and Th(Ⅳ) from nitric acid media by DEHSO and TBP is described. The distribution ratio of U(Ⅵ) from nitric acid medium by DEHSO is higher than by TBP
while the distribution ratio of Th(Ⅳ) is about the same for DEHSO and TBP. Therefore DEHSO exhibits a higher U-Th separation factor than TBP. The extraction reaction for U(Ⅵ) and Th(Ⅳ) is exoergic and the compositions of extracted species are UO2(NO3)2 2DEHSO and Th(NO3)4 2DEHSO. The back extraction of U(Ⅵ) and Th(Ⅳ) from DEHSO or TBP by 0.01-0.1 mol/1 HNO3 is also studied.
