Abstract
Extraction of U (VI) and Th (IV) from chloride and nitrate solutions with tri-n-dodecylamine impregnated on Amberlite XAD4, was investigated. The distribution of U (VI) and Th (IV) was studied at different concentrations of acid, salting-out agent, extractant, aqueous metal ion and other parameters. Absorption spectral studies have been investigated for uranium species in both aqueous HC1 solution and the resin phase. From these studies, it is suggested that the tetrachloro complex of U (VI) is formed in the extraction of uranium (VI) from hydrochloric acid solutions by TDA impregnated resin. Stripping of the extracted U (VI) and Th (IV) was assayed with HC1 and HNO3. Finally, the separation of uranium from thorium and fission products in HC1 media was achieved.
