Abstract

A systematic investigation has been carried out on the extractive behavior of N,N'-dihexanoylpiperazine (DHPEZ) with respect to U(VI) in five diluents, from aqueous nitric acid media. The variation of U(VI) distribution ratio with the concentrations of aqueous nitric acid, extractant, salting-out agent and with temperature has been investigated and discussed. The increasing order of extractive ability of DHPEZ towards U(VI) is: chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, 1,4-dimethyl-benzene, toluene, benzene. The composition of the extracted species and extraction constants as well as the enthalpy changes are given.
