A method for the separation of nitric acid from a mixture of nitric acid with one or more of phosphoric, sulphuric or hydrochloric acids, in which the nitric acid is selectively extracted from a first phase comprising the acid mixture into a second phase by an amine nitrate. The method may conveniently be carried into effect by treating an aqueous mixture of acids with kerosene containing tri-n-octylamine nitrate and a modifyier e.g. decanol following which the excess nitric acid is stripped from the kerosene phase by water or dilute nitric acid.
