The extraction of uranium(VI) from aqueous solutions with dibutylditiophosp
horic acid in organic solvents was studied. The influence of different fact
ors as pH of the aqueous phase, extractant concentration and nature of solv
ent was investigated in order to find the optimum conditions for separation
of metal from aqueous nitrate solutions. The effect of neutral donor extra
ctants was also searched and the efficiency of the extraction was calculate
d.
