Abstract

Retention of Pa(V) on the extraction chromatographic resins (DGA, TRU, TEVA, UTEVA and octanol resin) produced by Triskem International Company has been studied. The capacity factor k′ values of Pa(V) were determined in static experiments (batch technique) for a wide concentration range of nitric and hydrochloric acid solutions. The obtained data are useful to devise chromatographic separation of Pa(V) from other actinides.
