Extraction of americium(III) and europium(III) using a gamma pre-irradiated solution of N,N′-dimethyl-N,N′-dibutyltetradecyl malonamide in n-dodecane modified with N,N′-dihexyloctanamide

The extraction of Am(III) and Eu(III) using a γ-pre-irradiated N,N′-dimethyl-N,N′-dibutyltetradecyl malonamide (DMDBTDMA) modified with N,N′-dihexyloctanamide (DHOA) in n-dodecane (NDD) at 4.5M HNO₃ has been studied as a function of the absorbed dose up to 2×10⁶ Gray. The distribution ratios of Am(III) and Eu(III) were almost constant until a dose of 1×10⁵ Gray and then they decreased gradually up to a dose of 2×10⁶ Gray. The decrease of the distribution ratios of Am(III) and Eu(III) are due to the decreasing concentration of the DMDBTDMA by a γ-pre-irradiation and these results were supported by a determination of the DMDBTDMA concentration with a gas chromatography method. The distribution ratios of Am(III), Eu(III), Ce, Nd and Y with γ-pre-irradiated (DMDBTDMA-DHOA)/NDD have also been studied as a function of the nitric acid concentration and the extraction temperature.

Extraction and Mutual Separation of Actinide(III), (IV), (V) and (VI) Ions by N,N′-Dimethyl-N,N′-Dihexyl-3-Oxapentanediamide and Thenoyltrifluoroacetone

Actinide(III), (IV), (V) and (VI) ions were extracted by N,N-dimethyl-N,N-dihexyl-3-oxapentanediamide (DMDHOPDA) and thenoyltrifluoroacetone (HTTA). The extraction behaviors suggested the possibility of the mutual separation, and the convenient separation method of actinide ions (III), (IV), (V) and (VI) without reducing and oxidizing agents was studied. Th(IV) was extracted from the aqueous phase by HTTA (5 mM in toluene) in the first step. The Am(III) and U(VI) ions can be extracted by 1 and 20 mM DMDHOPDA in toluene, and the Np(V) ion can be extracted into nitrobenzene with 100 mM DMDHOPDA in the last step. The residual activities in the aqueous phase were much lower than the initial activities. These activities in the fractions were confirmed by the gamma- and the alpha-spectrometry. The one-through and rough separation is advanced, and in case of the fine isolation of actinide elements, each fraction should be purified in more detail.     

Solid phase extraction method for the separation and determination of chromium(III) in the presence of chromium(VI) using silica gel modified by N,N'-bis-(α-methylsalicylidene)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediimine

N,N'-bis-(α-methylsalicylidene)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediimine (SBTD) modified silica gel was prepared and used as sorbent for solid phase extraction of Cr(III) ions from aqueous solution. This sorbent showed a high sorption affinity for Cr(III) while recovery of Cr(VI) was very low. The analyte ion retained on the column was eluted with 1 mol L(-1) HNO(3). The chromium ion in the eluent was determined by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry. The effects of different parameters such as pH, eluent type and volume, Schiff's base concentration, sample and eluent flow rate, interfering ions and adsorbent amount were investigated.     

Solvent extraction of silver trifluoromethanesulfonate from water into nitrobenzene in the presence of silver ionophore?IV

Abstract  

From extraction experiments in the two-phase water/nitrobenzene system, the stability constant of the silver ionophore IV (i.e., 5,11,17,23-tetra-tert-butyl-25,27-bis[2-(methylthio)ethoxy]calix[4]arene)–Ag⁺ complex in nitrobenzene saturated with water was determined. Furthermore, the most probable structure of the resulting complex was derived by means of density functional level of theory calculations.     

Extraction of U(VI) and Th(IV) from nitric acid solutions with N,N,N′,N′-tetrahexylsuccinylamide

The results of monitoring of⁸⁵Kr volume activity in ground-level air of Prague over the period 1989–1995 are summariyed. Seasonal dependence with a maximum in late spring and summer months and a gradual increase of⁸⁵Kr concentration in the atmosphere were observed. Linear approximation of long-term trend in the period 1983–1995 gives the growth rate of 35 mBq·m^–3 per year. Exponential approximation provides an inter-year growth by 3.7% The measured values were compared to the prognosis of⁸⁵Kr contamination development of the atmosphere from the early 1980s. They were found to be near to the low estimate of the assumed development.     

Complexation of (1Z, 2Z)- N ′-1-, N ′-2-dihydroxy- N -1-, N -2-dipyridin-2-ylethanedimidamide in mono and dinuclear Zn(II), Cd(II), Hg(II) and Sn(IV) complexes

Mononuclear O,O-coordinated complexes K₂(MLCl₂) M = Zn(II), Cd(II) and dinuclear complexes (MZnLCl₂R₂)^x along with dinuclear N,N-coordinated complexes (M′ZnH₂LCl₂R₂)^y (where M = Zn(II), Cd(II), Hg(II) and M′ = M and Sn(IV); R = Cl, CH₃; x = 0, ?2; y = 0, +2) of N′-1-,N′-2-dihydroxy-N-1-,N-2-dipyridin-2-ylethanedimidamide (H₂L) have been prepared. All complexes have been characterized by ¹H NMR, IR, EI-mass spectroscopy and elemental microanalysis. These results are in agreement with our prediction for structures of mono and dinuclear complexes of H₂L and L^?2 with Zn(II) in the gas phase by theoretical studies.     

Complexation of the N,N′,O-donor ligand N-trans-(2′-hydroxycyclohexyl)-2-aminomethylpyridine

The potentially tridentate N,N′,O-donor N-trans-(2′-hydroxycyclohexyl)-2-aminomethylpyridine (1) forms ML₂ complexes with M(II)?=?Cu, Ni, and Zn. X-ray crystal structures of the isostructural Ni(II) and Zn(II) complexes confirm bis-tridentate coordination in significantly distorted octahedral geometries as the all-cis facial isomer. Structural comparisons with the previously reported all-trans facial Cu(II) and cis,cis,trans(N_py) facial Co(III) complexes are presented. Protonation constants for 1 and stability constants with Cu(II), Ni(II), and Zn(II) are reported, with both ML and ML₂ species defined. The trend for ML (log K ₁ values for Cu, Ni, and Zn of 8.3, 6.9, and 5.3, respectively) is conventional. Protonation and stability constants with Cu(II) for N,N-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amine (2) were also defined. The log K ₁ value measured for 2 of 7.4 is very similar to that found for 1 of 8.3, despite the marked difference in the third donor group; it appears that the third donor of the tridentate ligand generally binds only poorly to Jahn–Teller elongated Cu(II) in solution.
