The synergic extraction of uranium (Ⅵ) with tri-n-butyl phosphate (TBP) and petroleum sulfoxides(PSO)/benzene

摘要

The synergistic extraction of uranium (Ⅵ) from nitric acid aqueous solution with a mixture of tri-n-butyl phosphate (TBP) and petroleum sulfoxides(PSO) in benzene was studied. It has been found that the maximum synergistic extraction effect occurs where the molar ratio of PSO to TBP is one to two. The composition of the complex of synergistic extraction is UO2(NO3)2.TB P.PSO. The formation constant of the complex KTp=57.44.
