Abstract

Mutual separation of Th(IV) and U(VI) ions is very important in industry. Two newly solvent impregnated resins (SIRs) were prepared for this investigation. One of the SIRs contents 1,4-diaminoantraquinone (DAAQ) and the other one contains 1,4-dihydroxyantraquinone and DAAQ as 1:1 mixed-ligands. Comparison of adsorption behavior of Th(IV) and U(VI) on both types the SIRs were carried out using several models. The results showed that the adsorption behavior of the mixed-ligands SIR is methodically differs from the other one so that the successful separation of U(VI) from Th(IV) is feasible using the mixed-ligands SIR.
