Sp. Mohanty et al., EXTRACTION OF U(VI) WITH THE BINARY-MIXTURES OF HIGH-MOLECULAR-MASS VERSATIC ACIDS, INDIAN JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL TECHNOLOGY, 4(2), 1997, pp. 117-118
Extraction of U(VI) with high molecular mass carboxylic acids, viz., V
ersatic 10 and Versatic 911 (RH)(2) in benzene as diluent has been car
ried out as a function of equilibrium pH. The extracted species is fou
nd to be UO(2)R(2)(RH)(2). A comparison of pH(0.5) values for both the
extractants shows that they are of comparable extraction efficiency.
Synergism was obtained with the binary mixture of the extractants. Dil
uent effect on the extraction has also been carried out.
