title: The use of 5-(4-pyridyl)nonane for the separation of chromium(vi) from fission products in hydrochloric acid media.
abstract: The distribution of chromium(VI) between 5-(4-pyridyl)nonane in benzene and hydrochloric acid media has been studied as a function of the concentration of the acid, extractant, chromium(VI), chloride and a few other ions. The extraction mechanism and the composition of the extracted complexes of Cr(VI) have been proposed. The separation of Cr(VI) from uranium, thorium and fission products in 3M hydrochloric acid has been achieved.
