Crude thorium hydroxide is dissolved in excess nitric acid and the acid solution boiled to break down any phosphate complexes. The resulting aqueous solution, with nitric acid present in at least molar concentration, is subjected to organic solvent extraction with tributyl phosphate containing a non-polar organic solvent as diluent.
