Investigation of dibutyl-N,N-diethylcarbamoylphosphonate (DBDECP) as a solvent extraction reagent has revealed that the commercially available compound apparently contains low concentrations of aqueous soluble impurities which drastically effect the distribution ratios obtained using tracer scale radiochemical techniques. Analysis of previously published data regarding this extractant indicates that wide variations exist in some of the reported distribution ratios obtained for this compound under quite similar conditions. Caution must be exercised, therefore, in interpreting solvent extraction data obtained with DBDECP.
