one stage of nuclear reprocessing involves dissolving the spent fuel rods in nitric acid to produce uranyl nitrate. An organophosphorus liquid, tributyl phosphate, is then used to extract the uranyl nitrate from the water. The two liquids are highly immiscible (1 mL tributyl phosphate/ 165 mL water). We would like to remove 90% of the uranyl nitrate from 2 kg of a 20 wt% aqueous solution. How much tributyl phosphate is required for thie process if we use 3 stages in a cross-current congifuaration? How much is needed if the three stages are operated in a counter-current configuration? why is there a difference in the amount of solvent needed for the two configurations? You can assume the distribution coeffiecent on a solute-free basis is 5.5

Transferrin is the iron-transport protein found in blood. It has a molecular mass of 81000 and carries two Fe3+ ions. Desferrioxamine B is potent iron chelator used to treat patient with iron overload. It has a molecular mass of 650 and can bind one Fe3+. Desferrioxamine can take iron from many sites within the body and is excreted (with its iron) through the kidneys. The molar absorptivities of these compounds are given in the following table. Both compounds are colorless (no visible absorption) in the absence of iron.
e (M-1 cm-1)
l (nm) Transferrin Desferrioxamine
428 3540 2730
470 4170 2290
(a) A solution of transferrin has an absorbance of 0.463 at 470 nm in a 1.000 cm cell. Find the concentration of transferrin in mg/mL and the concentration of iron in μg/mL.
(b) After addition of desferrioxamine (which dilutes the sample), the absorbance at 470 nm was 0.424 and the absorbance at 428 nm was 0.401. Calculate the fraction of iron in transferrin. Remember that transferrin binds two Fe3+ ions and desferrioxamine binds only one.
