Summary. Extraction of Am(III) and Ln(III) from NaClO 4 medium has been investigated with di(2-ethylhexyl) dithiophosphoric acid, di(2-ethylhexyl) monothiophosphoric acid, di(2-ethylhexyl) monothiophosphinic acid, octylphenyl dithiophosphinic acid and 11 kinds of dialkyl dithiophosphinic acids (alkyl = hexyl, heptyl, octyl, nonyl, 2-ethylhexyl, 1-methylheptyl, phenyl, chlorophenyl, methylphenyl, 2,5-dimethylphenyl, and 3,5-dichloro-4-methylphenyl) in xylene. The effect of chemical structures of those extractants on separation capability has been studied. The relationship between the slope value of the lg D − pH and extraction conditions can be described as: lg S = a lg(C HA /CIn the presence of macro amounts of Eu(ClO 4 ) 3 , the formula, lg SF Am/Eu = B − 2 lg(C HL − D Eu /(D Eu + 1)C Eu ), can well describe the relationship between separation factor and the extraction condition. A high separation factor (SF Am/Eu = 2500) is obtained by solvent extraction from 1 mol/L NaNO 3 solution with 0.5 mol/L di(2-ethylhexyl) dithiophosphinic acid in toluene.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
