Abstract  

We studied the extraction of phosphomolybdic acid labelled with99Mo and32P and of other species extracted. From the influence of the acidity and of the concentration of excess molybdenum on the distribution coefficient of phosphorus, we propose the following equilibrium for the formation of phosphomolybdate in our experimental conditions

We show that the best yield of extraction is obtained with isobutyl acetate. From the relation between the quantities of molybdenum and phosphorus extracted, extraction of free molybdenum has been shown. It can be eliminated by washing the organic phase with a 5M HNO3 solution. Subsequently we test a method using radioactive molybdenum, proposed by J. E. KENNEY and M. P. MENON1 for the titration of phosphorus in steels. Because of the presence of interfering elements (Nb, Zr, Ti, V, Si, etc.) specific conditions for the extraction of phosphomolybdic acid have to be found for the application of this method to steels.
