The invention relates to an application and method for extracting and separating
uranium with an amino-containing neutral
phosphine extracting agent. The formula is shown in the specification, wherein R1 and R2 are independently selected from C1-12
alkyl, R3 and R4 are independently selected from C1-5
alkyl and
hydrogen, R5 and R6 are independently selected from C1-16
alkyl and
hydrogen, and at most one of R5 and R6 is
hydrogen. The amino-containing neutral
phosphine extracting agent has good extracting and separating capacity to
uranium in different acid media, the synthesis method is simple, chemical raw materials used for synthesis are simple and easy to obtain, cost is low, therefore, the extracting and separating cost of
cerium can be effectively reduced, and high industrial application value is achieved. According to the method, liquid-liquid extraction and separation or
solid-liquid extraction and separation is carried out on
uranium in uranium-containing raw materials, the result shows that the purity of uranium obtained after extraction, washing and reextraction is 99% or above and the yield of uranium is 98% or above, and enrichment and purification of uranium are effectively achieved.
