Abstract In the present thesis, the optimum conditions for leaching of the Egyptian monazite ore has been investigated in a reflux system using NaOH, HCl, H2SO4 and HNO3. Thorium has been determined spectrophotometrically in presence of uranium and lanthanides using Arsenazo-I before separation. Solvent extraction of thorium has been carried out from the different aqueous media; chloride, sulphate and nitrate. Different kinds of extractants have been used; TBP, TOPO and D2EHPA. The factors affecting the extraction of thorium have been investigated. The selective extraction of thorium has been also investigated. |
