Abstract
Sorption of uranium(VI) has been inbestigated using an open-cell plyurethane foam impregnated with 5,8-diethyl-7-hydroxy-6-dodecanone oxime (LIX 63). Above pH 4.5 more than 99% of uranium is sorbed onto the LIX 63 impregnated foam, and uranium can be desorbed with a dilute acid from the foam. The sorption capacity for uranium increases linearly with increasing concentration of impregnated LIX 63. Quantitative removal of uranium from salt solutions was accomplished.
