Synergistic extraction of uranium(VI) by 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde thiosemicarbazone and several neutral donors

Abstract

SummaryThe extraction behaviour of U (VI) from an aqueous nitric acid medium employing a 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde thiosemicarbazone in ethyl acetate has been studied in presence of different neutral donors like trioctyl phosphine oxide (TOPO), dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) and trioctyl amine (TOA). The extraction constant (log
