R. Prasanna et al., EXTRACTION OF NITRIC-ACID BY SOME TRIALKYL PHOSPHATES, Journal of radioanalytical and nuclear chemistry, 222(1-2), 1997, pp. 231-234
The extraction of nitric acid by tri-n-butyl phosphate (TBP), tri-sec-
butyl phosphate (TsBP) and tri-iso-amyl phosphate (TiAP) solutions in
n-dodecane are reported. The results indicate that increase in carbon
chain length of the alkyl group of the phosphate as well as introducti
on of branching near the phosphoryl (P = O) group of the phosphate do
not affect significantly the extraction of nitric acid.
