“…From its solution in ammonium oxalate, thorium may be recovered by precipitation with acids (36,37,121), by precipitation with ammonia (99, 121), or by evaporation and ignition to oxide (47, 48). Zirconium oxalate is extracted with thorium oxalate but does not precipitate on acidification (55, 127, 128), while the major portion of dissolved yttrium earth oxalates is precipitated by dilution (47,48,224).…”
