A study of the effect of feed and ether acidity on the extraction of vanadium and molybdenum from process solutions by ethyl ether is described. Results of batch and continuous extraction tests on the extraction of uranium from process slurries by tributyl phosphate-Gulfspray naphtha are presented, including studies of the effects of feed and scrub acidities on the concurrent extraction of molybdenum. The effect of temperature on the stripping of uranium from tributyl phosphate was studied briefly. Results from fractional precipitation of MgX from dilute sulfuric acid solutions indicate that, in the presence of sufficient iron, phosphate is precipitated as ferric phosphate, and not as uranyl pho sphate.
