Abstract
Ion exchange studies of uranium(VI), thorium(IV), plutonium(IV) and europium(III) ions on a macroreticular cation exchange resin, Amberlyst A-15, from solutions of 30% and 5% TBP—Shell Sol-T have been carried out. The metal ions were extracted into TBP Shell Sol-T phase from 8M NH4NO3 at different nitric acid concentrations. Ion exchange distribution ratios as a function of organic phase acidity of 30% and 5% TBP have been computed. Separation factors computed from the observed Kd values are plotted as a function of organic phase acidity.
