PURIFICATION OF PROMETHIUM BY LIQUID-LIQUID EXTRACTION
Description:
A process was developed for separating promethium from raixed fisBion product rare earths by continuous multistage conntercurrent extraction with 100% tri-nbutylphosphste from nitric acid of 12 N or higher concentration. Distribution coefficients at 12 N acidity for aecdamium. promethium. and samarium are 0.43. 0.82, and 1.55, respectively. Single-stage separation factors of 1.9 between successive elements can be maintained throughout the system to give separations dependent only on the number …
