Extraction and separation of uranium(VI) and protactinium(V) with 1-(4-tolyl)-2-methyl-3-hydroxy-4-pyridone

Summary The extraction of uranium(VI) from aqueous hydrochloric or nitric acid, and the extraction of protactinium from hydrochloric acid by 1-(4-tolyl)-2-methyl-3-hydroxy-4-pyridone (HY) dissolved in chloroform has been studied. At pH >4, uranium (VI) is quantitatively extracted while at pH < 1 practically all the uranium remains in the aqueous phase. At hydrochloric acid concentrations lower than 1M, protactinium(V) is quantitatively extracted while at hydrochloric acid concentration higher than 5M practically all the protactinium remains in the aqueous phase. This difference in extraction of uranium and protactinium was utilized for their separation. From 0.5M hydrochloric acid, protactinium is quantitatively extracted, and separated from uranium.The composition of the extracted uranium(VI) and protactinium (V) complexes was studied. A uranium complex with the formula UO₂Y₂ · HY was isolated from the chloroform solution. The solution of this complex in chloroform has a maximum absorbance at 319 nm and the molar absorptivity is 3.1×10⁴ l · mole^–1 · cm^–1. Owing to this property uranium can be determined spectro-photometrically directly in the organic phase.

Zusammenfassung Die Extraktion von Uran(VI) aus wäßriger Salzsäure oder Salpetersäure sowie die Extraktion von Protaktinium aus Salzsäure mit 1-(4-Tolyl)-2-methyl-3-hydroxy-4-pyridon (HY) in chloroformischer Lösung wurde untersucht. Bei pH > 4 wird U(VI) quantitativ extrahiert, während bei pH < 1 praktisch alles Uran in der wäßrigen Phase bleibt. Bei Salzsäurekonzen-trationen unter 1-m wird Protaktinium (V) quantitativ extrahiert, während bei Salzsäurekonzentrationen über 5-m praktisch alles Pa in der wäßrigen Phase bleibt. Dieser Unterschied bei der Extraktion der beiden Elemente wurde für deren Trennung benützt. Pa wird aus 0,5-m Salzsäure quantitativ extrahiert und so von Uran getrennt.Die Zusammensetzung der extrahierten U (VI)- und Pa (V)-Komplexe wurde untersucht. Ein Urankomplex der Formel UO₂ · Y₂ · HY wurde aus der Chloroformlösung isoliert. Die Lösung dieses Komplexes in Chloroform hat ein Absorptionsmaximum bei 319 nm und eine molare Extinktion von 3,1 · 10⁴ l · mol^–1 · cm^–1. Auf Grund dieser Eigenschaft kann Uran spektrophotometrisch direkt in der organischen Phase bestimmt werden.

     

Extraction and spectrophotometric determination of titanium(iv) with 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-1-(4-tolyl)-4-pyridone

Titanium(IV) in sulphuric, perchloric and hydrochloric acid media reacts with 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-1-(4-tolyl)-4-pyridone (HY) to give a complex which is extractable into chloroform. The composition of the extractable complex depends on the acidity of the aqueous phase and on which mineral acid is used. The mixed titanium-perchlorate-HY complex which is formed in the presence of excess of perchlorate is the most suitable for the spectrophotometric determination of titanium. The molar absorptivity of the complex is 1.6×10⁴1·mole^–1·cm^–1 at 355 nm. The optimum titanium concentration range is 0.5–6,g/ml. The method has been successfully applied to the determination of titanium in samples of bauxite and alumina refractory.     

Extraction and complex formation of thorium(IV) with 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-1-(4-tolyl)-4-pyridone

The extraction of thorium(IV) from aqueous hydrochloric and nitric acid solution by 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-1-(4-tolyl)-4-pyridone (HY) dissolved in chloroform has been studied. Thorium(IV) is quantitatively extracted at pH > 3.8 from the hydrochloric acid solution containing an excess of chloride ions, and at pH > 2.5 from nitric acid solution containing an excess of nitrate ions. Extracted thorium can be quantitatively stripped with 1 M hydrochloric or nitric acid. The separation of protactinium from thorium is described. The mechanism of thorium extraction has been studied. The composition of the extractable thorium complexes depends on the HYTh concentration ratio and on the kind of mineral acid present in the aqueous phase.

The extraction of niobium(V) from aqueous hydrochloric and sulphuric acid solutions with 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-1-(4-tolyl)-4-pyridone (HY) dissolved in chloroform is described. Niobium(V) can be quantitatively extracted with HY in the form of two different complexes depending on the chloride ion concentration in the aqueous phase. At a low chloride concentration or without chloride in the aqueous phase niobium(V) is extracted with HY in the form of Nb(OH)₃Y₂ and at a high chloride concentration as a mixed Nb(OH)₃ClY complex. Niobium extraction with HY enables the separation of niobium(V) from zirconium(IV) and hafnium(IV). The formation of a mixed chloro-4-pyridone complex is also applicable for the spectrophotometric determination of niobium in the organic phase at the maximum absorption at 350 nm.

Solvent extraction of gold(III) with 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-trifluoroacetylpyrazolone-5

A simple, rapid and selective separation procedure of gold based on its extraction with 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-trifluoroacetylpyrazolone-5 has been developed. The dependence of the distribution ratio of gold on the pH of aqueous solutions, concentration of hydrochloric, nitric and perchloric acids and the organic solvents has been investigated. Decontamination factors for a number of metal ions with respect to gold are reported. Excellent separation of gold is obtained from many elements including noble metals.

Solutions of 1 M HCl, 0.2 M KCN, and the buffer of pH 0.8 readily strip gold from the organic phase. Some useful analytical applications of this procedure are discussed.     

Solvent extraction and separation of zirconium,niobium and tantalum by 2-carbethoxy-5-hydroxy-1-(4-tolyl)-4-pyridone

Summary Extraction of zirconium, niobium and tantalum from oxalic and hydrofluoric acid solutions, by 2-carbethoxy-5-hydroxy-1-(4-tolyl)-4-pyridone (HA) dissolved in chloroform was studied. Extraction mechanism for the extraction of zirconium from oxalate solutions and of niobium from fluoride solutions is proposed. Separation of zirconium and niobium from oxalate solution as well as from fluoride solution and tantalum and niobium from fluoride solution is described. Back-extraction of these metals is possible by hydrofluoric and oxalic acid. Results obtained show that the efficiency of extraction by HA decreases in the sequence tantalum > niobium > zirconium.

Solvent extraction separation of hafnium with 4-methyl-3-pentene-2-one

A new method for the extractive separation of hafnium from zirconium is presented. Zirconium is extracted with pure mesityl oxide from 4M nitric acid/4M sodium nitrate medium, followed by extraction of hafnium with mesityl oxide from 0.4M hydrochloric acid/2M ammonium thiocyanate medium.

Synergistic extraction of uranium(VI) with 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-acylpyrazolone-5 and neutral extractants

The synergistic extraction of uranium(VI) from hydrochloric acid solution with five chelating agents: 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-benzoylpyrazolone-5 (PMBP), 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-acetylpyrazolone-5 (PMAP), 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-(2-chlorobenzoyl)pyrazolone-5 (PMCBP), 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-(p-nitrobenzoyl)pyrazolone-5 (PMNBP) and 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-trifluoroacetylpyrazolone-5 (PMTFP) plus the neutral extractants tributylphosphate (TBP), dioctyl sulfoxide (DOSO) and trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO) in chloroform has been investigated. The extraction coefficients have been found to be greater for such mixtures than the individual component. The formulas of the extracted species have been determined to be UO₂A₂B (where HA = chelating agent, B = neutral extractant). Extraction power of these chelating agents increases as follows: PMCBP>PMNBP>PMTFP=PMBP>PMAP. Synergistic extraction power of the neutral extractants increases as follows: TOPO>DOSO>TBP. The extraction equilibrium constants have been calculated. The mechanism of the synergistic extraction and possible structure of the extracted species are discussed.     

Spectroscopic studies on methyl torsional behavior in 1-methyl-2(1H)-pyridone, 1-methyl-2(1H)-pyridinimine, and 3-methyl-2(1H)-pyridone. I. Excited state

The laser induced fluorescence excitation and dispersed fluorescence spectra of three nitrogen heterocyclic molecules 1-methyl-2(1H)pyridone (1MPY), 1-methyl-2(1H)pyridinimine (1MPI), and 3-methyl-2(1H)pyridone (3MPY) have been studied under supersonic jet cooled condition. The methyl torsional and some low frequency vibrational transitions in the fluorescence excitation spectrum were assigned for 1MPY. These new assignments modify the potential parameters to the methyl torsion reported earlier. Some striking similarities exist between the torsional and vibrational transitions in the fluorescence excitation spectra of 1MPY and 1MPI. Apart from pure torsional transitions, a progression of vibration-torsion combination bands was observed for both these molecules. The excitation spectrum of 3MPY resembles the spectrum of its parent molecule, 2-pyridone. The barrier height of the methyl torsion in the excited state of 3MPY is highest amongst all these molecules, whereas the barrier in 1MPI is higher than that of 1MPY. To get an insight into the methyl torsional barrier for these molecules, results of the ab initio calculations were compared with the experimental results. It was found that the conformation of the methyl group undergoes a 60 degrees rotation in the excited state in all these molecules with respect to their ground state conformation. This phase shift of the excited state potential is attributed to the pi*-sigma* hyperconjugation between the out-of-plane hydrogen of the methyl group and the molecular frame. It has been inferred that the change in lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy plays the dominant role in the excited state barrier formation.
