Abstract

ABSTRACT: The solvent extraction of Ln(III) ions from perchlorate aqueous solutions into an organic phase containing neutral polyfunctional organophosphorus ligands R2 P(O)CH2 OCH2 C(O)NBu2 R = Bu (I ), R = Ph (II ) and R2 P(O)CH2 OCH2 P(O)R 1 2 R = R 1 = Bu (III ); R = Bu, R 1 = Ph (IV ); R = R 1 = Ph(V ) has been studied. Their extraction behavior was compared with that of tetrabutyldiglycolamide (TBDGA), tetrabutylmethylenediphosphine dioxide (VI ), P, P -dibutyl- P'P '-diphenylmethylenediphosphine dioxide (VII ), tetraphenylmethylenediphosphine dioxide (VIII ), dibutyl- N, N -dibutylcarbamoylmethylphosphine oxide (IX ) and diphenyl- N, N -dibutylcarbamoylmethylphosphine oxide (X ). The extraction equilibrium was investigated, and the equilibrium constants were calculated. It was found that the lanthanide(III) ions are extracted with the studied extractants from perchlorate solutions as LnL3 (ClO4 )3 complexes. In the NaClO4 media, TBDGA was found to possess a higher extraction efficiency towards Ln(III) ions than other neutral donor ligands studied. A successive replacement of the C(O)NBu2 groups in the diglycolamide extractant molecule by phosphoryl ones leads to a decrease in the extraction efficiency of Ln(III) ions. In the NaClO4 media, compoundsII, IV andV with phenyl radicals at the P(O) group demonstrate a lower extraction efficiency towards Ln(III) ions than their butyl-substituted analogs. In contrast, phenyl-substituted diphosphine dioxidesVIII, VII and carbamoylmethylphosphine oxide (X ) extract Ln(III) ions more effectively than their butyl-substituted analogsVI andIX . The extraction of Ln(III) ions from HClO4 solutions is accompanied by HClO4 interaction with neutral donor extractants, which leads to a decrease of the free extractant concentration in the organic phase. By this reason, an increase in the HClO4 concentration higher than 0.1 M is accompanied by a decrease of the Ln(III) extraction with TBDGA. In the 3 M HClO4 system, diphosphine dioxideVIII outperforms TBDGA at the Ln(III) extraction.
