“…A number of extractants such as di-(-2-ethylhexyl) 2-ethylhexyl phosphonate (DEHEHP) [2][3][4], cyanex 923 [5][6][7][8], lueco xylene cyanol FF [9], 2-ethylhexyl hydrogen 2-ethylhexyl phosphonate (KSM-17) [10], N, N'-Dimethyl-N,N'-diphenylpyridine-2, 6-dicarboxyamide (DMDPhPDA) [11], N-phenylbenzo-18-crown-6-hydroxamic acid [12], 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate [13], high molecular weight carboxylic acids [14], N -phenyl -(1,2-methanofullerene C 60 ) 61-formohydroxamic acid [15], tri-nbutyl phosphate (TBP) [16], tridodecylamine (TDA), 1-[thenoyl- (2)]-3-3-3-trifluoroacetone (HTTA), di (2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid (HDEHP) and tricaprylmethylammonium chloride (TCMA) [17], calyx [4] resorcinarene-N-fenil-acetohydroxamic acid [18], have been used for the extraction and separation of Ce(IV). However, these methods have limitations such as interference of different ions, emulsion formation, co-extraction, and use of high reagent concentrations.…”
