A plant designed for concentrating thorium by extraction from pitchblende residue by use of tributyl phosphate followed by hydrofluoric acid strip is described. The fluoride product is further purified by a solvent extraction flowsheet in hot laboratory equipment. An outline of the chemical technology used in this process is presented. (J.R.D.
