Effects of pH, extractant/diluent ratios, and metal concentrations on the extent of extractant dissolution during liquid-liquid extraction were investigated. Experimental result shows that D(2)EHPA dissolution increases dramatically at pH above 4, leveling off at pH 6-7. The phenomenon is consistent
