Abstract

Precipitation of thorium from aqueous solutions of thorium
nitrate and sodium fumarate and potassium maleate respectively
has been investigated for a broad range of concentrations of preci~
pitation components and pH. From the results of chemical analyses
and from the DT A and IR spectra the most probable formulas of
the formed precipitates are: Th(H-fumarate)2 (0H)2 X 5 H 20 and
[ g~ Thg~ (Mal Th g~ )4] X 6 H20. In the soluble mixed hydroxo
maleato thorium complex, which is in equilibrium with thorium
hydroxide, probably three hydroxide ions are bound to one thorium.
It has been found that with fumarate ion thorium does not form a
soluble complex.
