Abstract
The adsorption behaviour of thorium, protactinium, uranium, neptonium and plutonium on zirconium phosphate from nitric acid and ammonium nitrate solutions was investigated. Partition data from the mentioned media together with that from chloride solutions were used to calculate formation constants for the concerned elements in the range of Cl− and NO −3 activities <1M. Obtained β values were compared with those reported in the literature and indicated reasonable agreement.
