Abstract
The extraction of U(VI), Th(IV) and a number of fission products from nitric acid medium by a newly synthesised macroporous bifunctional pho sphinic acid resin has been studied. The extraction of uranium from su lphuric acid medium has also been studied. While the gel type phosphin ic acid resins seems to pose a number of problems in practical applica tions, the macroporous type resins are shown to be suitable for a vari ety of applications where conventional ion exchange resins are of limi ted use.
