Abstract: | The solvent extraction behaviour of tracer zirconium in the TTA-xylene system has been studied. By studying the effect of
TTA concentration, extraction time, and acid concentration for HNO3 and HCl, optimum conditions of zirconium extraction are determined. It is found that zirconium is 98% extracted in one minute
of extraction with 0.5M TTA in xylene from an 8M HNO3 solution. A plot of 1g D versus 1g TTA] gives a straight line with a slope of 2. This suggests that the zirconium ion is
hydrolyzed and is present as ZrO2+, zirconyl ion, in aqueous solutions.
