Separation and spectrophotometric determination of uranium(VI) by extraction with tri-n-octylphosphine oxide and benzophenone.
Uranium(VI) is separated by extraction from nitric acid medium into a molten mixture of tri-n-octylphosphine oxide and benzophenone at about 50 degrees . The organic phase solidifies on cooling and is separated and dissolved in ethanol. The uranium(VI) in this solution is then determined spectrophotometrically with 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol.
