Abstract
To investigate the extraction of uranium(VI) in HCl media by Aliquat® 336 in 1:99 (v:v) 1-decanol:n-dodecane mixture, our objective is to identify the complexe(s) in the organic phase by time-resolved laser-induced luminescence spectroscopy (TRLS). The extraction mechanism is supposed to involve the formation of
