ABSTRACT: BS>Discussions are presented concerning characteristics of the organic
phase in amine solvent extraction and of properties of the species present when
simple inorganic acids and actinides are extracted. The effects of amine
structures and diluents are examined along with the nature of the organic phase,
metal extraction, and aggregation of complexes. (J.R.D.)

ABSTRACT: The extraction of uranium(IV) from nitric acid solutions by tri-n-octylamine has been studied by a spectrophotometric technique. The data are consistent with the extraction of the hexanitrato anion, as was the case with tetravalent thorium, neptunium, and plutonium previously studied.

ABSTRACT: The extraction of six of the actinide elements from nitric acid solutions by tri-n-octylamine in xylene has been investigated and the effects of acid and amine concentrations have been measured. The extraction of neptunium(IV) and plutonium(IV) was found to be much greater than any of the other oxidation states studied. The application of this property to a separation technique has been suggested. The nitrate complex species predominating in the amine phase has been suggested in the case of the tetravalent ions.

ABSTRACT: The ionic species of the tetra- and hexavalent actinides that are extracted from nitric acid by tri-n-octylamine-xylene solutions have been identified as M(NO3)62− and MO2(NO3)3−, respectively. The spectrum of each metal in TOA solution is shown to be nearly identical to that of an organic solution of the corresponding tetraethylammonium salt; and, in the case of the tetravalent ions, nearly identical to a concentrated nitric acid solution of the metal.
