Studies of the Behavior of the Tbp-Kerosene Solvent in Uranium Refining: Degradation of the Kerosene Diluent
Description:
Extensive studies have been conducted of kerosenetype diluents for the tri-n-butyl phosphate (TBP)kerosene solvent used in uranium extraction. Wide variations have been shown in the paraffinic, isoparaffinics aromatics and olefinic hydrocarbon contents of these diluents. Such diluents have been shown to be unstable in thc presence of high nitric acid concentrations, and in the presence of small amounts of nitrous acid. This instability is primarily a function of the non-paraffinic hydrocarbon c…
