In this paper the separation of uranium from thorium in 1B extractor for the acid thorex process was described. The operation of 1B extractor was carried out with 30%TBP-kerosene as scrubbing agent and dilute nitric acid as stripping agent at room temperature. The theoretical stages of the scrub section and strip section
the optimum conditions of the relative flow rates and acidity of the stripping agent were determined by means of batch-wise countercurrent extraction experiments. The decontamination factors for uranium and thorium was also determined
respectively. The separation coefficient of the uranium from thorium is more than 200
the recovery efficiency of the uranium is 99.8%.
