Abstract

A process for the purification by selective separation of uranium and/or molybdenum from zirconium and/or hafnium among other impurities contained in an amino organic phase by bringing them together with an aqueous sulphuric re-extraction solution, characterized in that, with a view to increasing the separation factor of the zirconium and/or hafnium on the one hand and the uranium and/or molbydenum on the other hand, the aqueous sulphuric re-extraction solution contains at least one alkali or equivalent sulphate.
