The extraction of Np(IV) and HNO 3 from aqueous solutions containing only this acid (1–10 M) has been studied with solutions of triphenylphosphine oxide (TPPO) in carbon tetrachloride, benzene and chloroform. The species TPPO · HNO 3 and Np(NO 3 ) 4 · 2TPPO are the most predominently extracted species; there is also experimental evidence for Np(NO 3 ) 4 · TPPO. An equilibrium “constant” of 0.7 is calculated for the extraction of HNO 3 with solutions of the reagent in CCl 4 . This value is found to fit also the measurements on TPPO in C 6 H 6 . The position of the solvent CHCl 3 is reversed, compared with the extraction of the acid and Np(IV) by the solvents CCl 4 and C 6 H 6 , respectively.
