Description
Summary:The solubilities of uranyl dlbutyl phosphate, uranyl monobutyl phosphate, ferric dibutyl phosphate, and ferric monobutyl phosphate were measured in aqueous nitric acid solutions ranging from 0 to 3 M and in 30% TBP in Amsco 125-82 solution containing 0--0.7 M HNO/sub 3/. For the respective compounds in the aqueous phases, as the acidity increased from 0 to 3 M, the solubilities increased from 0.004 to 0.7 g U/liter, O.O5to 50 g U/liter, <1 to 30 mg Fe(III)/ liter, and 0.003 to 3 g Fe(III)/liter; corresponding solubilities in the organic phases increased with acidity from 14 to 165 g U/liter, 11 to 110 g U/liter, <O.5to 4 mg Fe(III)/liter, and <0.002 to 1.5 g Fe(III)/liter. All these compounds foamed or formed very flocculent solids in the aqueous phases snd tended to settle slowly in the organic phases and rise to the surface in the aqueous phases, suggesting that they would be interface seekers in two-phase aqueousorganic systems.
