Abstract

The gel-liquid extraction of U(VI) has been investigated at nitric acid concentrations ranging from 0.01 to 10N using gels prepared by swelling styrene divinyl benzene beads with mixtures of solutions of di-(2-ethylhexyl)-phosphoric acid and nitrobenzene. Extraction at acidities below 5N HNO3 seems to be controlled by both a cation-exchange and a solvation mechanism. At higher acidities, a solvation mechanism appears to predominate.
