Abstract
Plutonium is extracted from an aqueous nitrate solution, in which it is present together with uranium and/or fission products, by treating the solution with triglycoldichloride containing a saturated aliphatic aldehyde having at least two carbon atoms per molecule, benzaldehyde, or a polyhydric phenol having hydroxyl groups in the ortho or para positions. Plutonium passes into the solvent phase in preference to uranium and fission products, which remain in the aqueous phase. The solution treated may be obtained by dissolving neutron-irradiated uranium in nitric acid, adjusting the acidity to 1 to 3N, and adding ammonium, calcium, or magnesium nitrate. Tables show the effect on the distribution coefficient of plutonium between the aqueous and solvent phases of adding to the solvent small amounts of acetaldehyde, propionaldehyde, n- and iso-butyraldehyde, benzaldehyde, hydroquinone, 2,5 - dichlorohydroquinone, catechol, and pyrogallol.
