Einfluss Organischer Lösungsmittel auf die Extraktion von Thorium(IV) und Uran(VI) mit Substituierten Sekundären,Tertiären und Quartären Ammoniumnitraten aus Salpetersauren Lösungen

The influence of methanol on the distribution of thorium(IV) and uranium(VI) between aqueous solutions of nitric acid and solutions of Amberlite LA-2, trilaurylamine and Aliquat-336-nitrate has been investigated. The amount of acid in the organic phase increases with increasing concentration of nitric acid and methanol in the aqueous phase. The concentration of acid in the organic phase can be calculated by a given formula for Amberlite LA-2. The distribution of methanol is discussed. The distribution of thorium(IV) and uranium(VI) changes, when methanol is added. This is explained by the shift of the equilibrium of the metal complex and by the enhanced extraction of acid.
