Abstract: | Our aim was to discover a method of separating zirconium(IV) and uranium(VI) from solutions. It is known that Zr(IV) and U(VI) are effectively extracted by tertiary amines from weak acidic sulfate solutions but the possibility of extraction decreases with increasing acidity. The transition from tertiary amine to primary amine Primene JMT enables the extraction of Zr also from more acidic solution. If both Zr and U are present in an aqueous solution, Zr is extracted preferentially and only the free part of the amine can convert uranium to an extract. The separation described below was carried out by preferentially stripping zirconium from the organic phase. The application of nitrate solution (2M HNO3) to eliminate Zr from the solvent was tested. This method does not demand any special regeneration of the extraction agent and the amine nitrate, formed in the organic phase, can be used for further extraction of Zr without modification. Using this method of separation, a solution for producing pure ZrOCl2·8H2O was obtained. |
