Abstract

Activity coefficients of small concentrations of nitric acid in 1-8 m lithium nitrate have been determined potentiometrically, using quinhydrone and glass electrodes. The invasion of a Dowex 1 resin by nitric acid and lithium nitrate from a 8.90 m total nitrate solution has been measured. Activity coefficients of nitric acid in the resin were calculated. The acidity dependence of the distribution of La, Eu, Yb, and Am between resin and a lithium nitrate solution was measured. Sorption of the species M(NO3)5-2, for M = Eu, Yb, and possibly Am, and La(NO3)7-4 was found to be consistent with the experimental data.
