The equilibrium of extraction of V(IV) in the V(IV)- SO42- (H+, Na+)-Cyanex 301 (HA)-kerosene system has been studied. Significant extraction occurs above pH 1 within 10 min. CD (extraction ratio at constant pH(eq) and [HA](o,eq)) value is slightly decreased with increasing [V(IV)](ini). CD is found to be directly proportional to [H+]-n (n ¡Ü 2), [HA] 2 and (1+1.58 [SO
