The extraction behaviors of uranium (VI) from nitric acid by N-decanoylpyrrolidine (DPOD) in toluene has been studied at varying concentrations of nitric acid, extractant, salting out agent LiNO_3 and at different temperatures. The mechanism of extraction is discussed in the light of the results obtained.
