Citric acid dissociation constants / Am-Cm-Eu-citrate complexation / Pitzer parameters / Extraction / High ionic strengthSummary. The dissociation constants of citric acid (Cit), and the stability constants of Am 3+ , Cm 3+ and Eu 3+ with Cit were determined as a function of ionic strength (NaClO 4 ) using potentiometric titration and an extraction technique, respectively. The results have shown the presence of both 1 : 1 and 1 : 2 complexes under the experimental conditions. A thermodynamic model was constructed to predict the apparent stability constants at different ionic strengths by applying the Pitzer ionic interaction parameters β (0) , β (1) , and C φ which were obtained to fit the experimental data. Thermodynamic stability constants of M(Cit) and M(Cit) 2 3− (where M = Am 3+ , Cm 3+ or Eu 3+ ) were calculated to be log β 0 101 = 9.91 ± 0.10, log β 0 102 = 14.47 ± 0.14 for Am 3+ , log β 0 101 = 9.53 ± 0.16, log β 0 102 = 14.46 ± 0.16 for Cm 3+ and log β 0 101 = 9.82 ± 0.14, log β 0 102 = 13.31 ± 0.12 for Eu 3+ as obtained by extrapolation to zero ionic strength.
