S. Banerjee et al., Synergistic extraction of thorium by beta-hydroxy naphthaldoxime in presence of neutral donors, J RAD NUCL, 250(2), 2001, pp. 399-403
The effects of neutral organophosphorous compounds on the extraction of tho
rium by beta -hydroxy naphthaldoxime in xylene are reported. Enhancement of
the extraction is explained by a complex adduct formation in the organic p
hase. Synergistic coefficients and apparent formation constant of complex a
dducts are calculated.
