Abstract
The142/140Ce unit separation factor (q) for Ce(III)-Ce(IV) exchange reaction in an extraction system containing Ce(IV) in tri-n-butyl phosphate (TBP) and Ce(III) in hydrochloric acid has been determined. The value of q was found to be 0.9996±0.0001 (2δ) in the 12M HCl/TBP extraction system. The properties of the extraction systems containing nitric and hydrochloric acids in regard to isotope partition have been discussed.
