| Abstract: | The literature pertaining to the solvent extraction of heptavalent technetium and rhenium from aqueous solution by tributyl phosphate (TBP) has been compiled, critically evaluated, and supplemented with new data in some areas. The effects of adding mineral acids, alkali metal nitrates, alkali metal chlorides, uranyl nitrate, thorium nitrate, and plutonium(IV) nitrate to these systems were also examined. Discussions of the possible nature of the organic-phase complexes are presented, along with values of ..delta..G, ..delta..H, ..delta..S, and the equilibrium constant for the extraction reaction in several systems. Mathematical models correlating the distribution behavior over a wide range of conditions were also developed. Equations are given for calculating the distribution coefficients for the extraction of Re(VII) or Tc(VII) from 0.2 to 4 M HCl by 0.339 to 2.90 M TBP at 298 to 333/sup 0/K. Equations are given for calculating the distribution coefficients under the same conditions, but with HNO/sub 3/ (instead of HCl) present in the aqueous phase. 28 references, 27 figures, 3 tables. |
