“…[3][4][5][6] The extraction chemistry of cerium has been studied and different extractants such as lueco xylene cyanol (FF), N-phenylbenzo-18-crown-6-hydroxamic acid, tri-n-butyl phosphate (TBP), resorcinarene-N-fenil-acetohydroxamic acid, di-(-2-ethylhexyl) 2-ethylhexyl phosphonate (DEHEHP), cyanex 923, 2-ethylhexyl hydrogen 2-ethylhexyl phosphonate, N,N'-Dimethyl-N,N'-diphenyl-pyridine-2, 6-dicarboxyamide (DMDPhPDA), tridodecylamine (TDA), 1-[thenoyl- (2)]-3-3-3-trifluoroacetone (HTTA), di (2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid (HDEHP) and tricaprylmethyl-ammonium chloride (TCMA) have been used. [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] In addition to this the extraction chemistry of cerium has also been explored with N-n-octylaniline, acetophenone 2,5 dihydroxy, semicarbazone, Variamine blue, 2,4, dihydroxy benzophenoe benzoic hydrazone, 2,6-dibromo-4-chloro carboxyarsenazo, 4-dimethyl amino-azo benzene-arsenic acid, pyrogallol red, dibromo-p-methyl chloro sulphanzo, propionil promazine phosphate, N-P-chlorophenyl-p-methoxy hydroxamic acid, tributylphosphine oxide (TBPO), tricaprylmethylammonium chloride, calix [IV] resorcinarene acid derivative [C 4 RAHA], butyl phosphate, 3-phenyl-4-benzoyl-5-isoxazolone (HPBI), bifunctional ionic liquids, octacarboxymethyl-C-methylcalix , organophosphorous extractants, malachite green, arsenazo (III). However, there are certain limitations associated with extraction of cerium such as interference of different ions, co-extraction, emulsion formation, use of high reagent concentrations less sensitivity and expensive back-stripping reagents.…”
