The extraction of tantalum fluoride complexes by large cationic
extractants (tetraphenylarsonium ion, TPA, and crystal violet) and
by methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) has been investigated as a function
of fluoride concentration using ¹⁸² Ta as tracer. Extractions by the
cationic extractants into chloroform were carried out in the absence
of...
