Solvent extraction of heptavalent technetium

An extraction study was performed on technetium in its highest oxidation state as a function of nitric acid concentration at 25, 50 and 70 °C. A long chain amine (tri-n-octylamine TOA) and an organophosphorus solvent (TBP) have been investigated. Addition of NH₄NO₃ has a salting-out effect on the extraction of TBP in the aqueous phase and therefore decreases the distribution coefficient for heptavalent technetium. The mechanism of extraction is discussed in the light of the results obtained.     

Solvent extraction of pertechnetate with TBP from perchloric acid solution

Solvent extraction mechanism of pertechnetic acid with TBP from perchloric acid solutions is discussed. When cyclohexane is used as a diluent of TBP, perchloric acid can be extracted in the form of HClO₄(TBP)₂ into the organic phase. The TBP extraction of pertechnetic acid competes with perchloric acid and its equilibria are expressed as follows: HTcO₄+3TBPHTcO₄(TBP)₃ and HTcO₄(TBP)₃+TBPHTcO₄(TBP)₄.     

Solvent extraction of reduced technetium from mineral acid solutions

The extraction of reduced^99mTc with 5,7-dichloroxine, tributyl phosphate (TBP) and 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-benzoyl-pyrazolone-5 (PMBP) from HCl−LiCl mixtures has been studied. A mechanism of extraction is proposed and the stability of the chlorocomplexes of technetium (V) in a hydrochloric and—lithium chlorid—perchloric acid mixture has been established using extraction data of^99mTc and spectrophotometric measurements with⁹⁹Tc.     

Solvent extraction of technetium(VII) by cyclic amides

The extraction behavior of heptavalent technetium with cyclic amides inn-dodecane from nitric acid solution was studied. The amides investigated are N-(2-ethyl)hexylbutyrolactam(EHBLA). N-(2-ethyl)hexylvalerolactam(EHVLA), N-(2-ethyl)hexyl-caprolactam (EHCLA), N-octylcaprolactam(OCLA), a mixture of 3-octyl-N-(2-ethyl)hexylvalerolactam and 4-octyl-N-(2-ethyl)hexylvalerolactam (3,4,OEHVLA), 2-octyl-N-(2-ethyl)hexylcaprolactam(2OEHCLA), a mixture of 3-octyl-N-(2-ethyl)hexylcaprolactam and 5-octyl-N-(2-ethyl)hexylcaprolactam(3,5,OEHCLA) and that of 3-octyl-N-octylcaprolactam and 5-octyl-N-octylcaprolactam(3,5,OOCLA). From the results of the distribution ratio of Tc(VII) as a function of acid concentration, cyclic amides concentration and HTcO₄ concentration, the effects of both the ring size of cyclic amide and structure of the substituents attached to different positions of the cyclic ring on the extraction behavior of Tc(VII) were discussed. A clear steric hindrance was observed. For applications, 3,4,OEHVLA is proposed as the best extractant for Tc from acidic solution.     

Solvent extraction of yttrium(III) by TBP from acidic organic-aqueous solutions

Extraction by benzene solutions of TBP of carrier-free⁹⁰Y(III) from mixed aqueous-organic nitrate and perchlorate solutions was studied with special respect to the S-shaped D_Y versus acid concentration plots observed in aqueous systems. The presence of organic solvents in the aqueous phase enhanced the extraction of Y(III) and also influenced the shape of the D_Y vs. acid concentration plots in that the minimum was shifted towards lower acid concentration, became less pronounced, and eventually vanished completely.     

Solvent extraction of hafnium(IV) by TBP and topo from acidic organic-aqueous solutions

Tracer concentrations of Hf(IV) were extracted by 60% TBP solution in benzene from 5M HClO₄, 5M HCl, 6M HNO₃ and 8M H₂SO₄ solutions, and by 1·10^?4 M TOPO solution in benzene from 2M HClO₄ and 2M HCl solutions in the presence of a variety of organic solvents miscible with the aqueous phase. Whereas for TBP these solvents caused an increase of HF(IV) extraction, an opposite effect was observed for TOPO. The results were discussed from the point of view of various solute-solvent and solvent-solvent interactions.     

Solvent extraction of technetium(VII) by primary amine in heptane solution from aqueous alkaline solution

Technetium(VII) extraction has been investigated to obtain useful information concerming the back-extraction of Tc(VII). Radioactive technetium-95m was used to determine the distribution ratio (D _Tc) of^95mTcO ₄ ^– for Tc(VII) extraction using Primene JMT (RNH₂) in heptane solution. An emulsion formation did not occur in the ammonium carbonate system but occurred in the sodium hydroxide solutions. The extraction mechanism has also determined by using the slope analysis method to study the relationships between logD _Tc and log [RNH₂], and between logD _Tc and pH.     

Solvent extraction of metal ions with mixed ligands: Extraction and separation of calcium and strontium with TTA and TBP in carbon tetrachloride

The solvent extraction of calcium(II) and strontium(II) by TTA has been studied using carbon tcetrachloride containing trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO), tributylphosphate (TBP), and methyl isobutyl ketone (hexone) as adduct-forming ligands. Stability constants for the systems are given. The separation of calcium and strontium can be effected by 0.1 M TTA +0.01 M TBP in carbon tetrachloride.     

Solvent extraction of Tc(VII) by the mixture of TBP and 2-nitrophenyl octyl ether

The extraction of Tc(VII) by the mixture of tri-n-butyl phosphate (TBP) and 2-nitrophenyl octyl ether (NPOE) has been studied. 0.2M NPOE-TBP can extract Tc(VII) effectively from 1M HNO₃ and 1M NaOH solutions with distribution ratios of 57.1 and 12.3, respectively. The distribution ratio of Tc(VII) decreases with increasing (>0.5M) HNO₃ concentration but increases with the increase of NaOH concentration. A pH 9 NaOH solution has proven to be suitable for Tc(VII) stripping. A simple extraction-stripping cycle can remove Tc(VII) from a sodium hydroxide solution. A more sophisticated extraction process is proposed to remove Tc(VII) from nitric acid solution because the co-extracted HNO3 prevents the direct stripping of Tc(VII) by NaOH solution of pH 9.

Solvent extraction of halogens

Summary The solubility formula previously proposed was applied to the partition of halogens between water and some typical organic solvents, and the character of parameter in the formula was examined. The formula reproduces the experimental data of the solvent extraction of halogens reasonably. The ratio is controlled by the solute independently of the solvent. The ratio is unity for all solutes in the water-hydrocarbon system, and is 3 ^n–1 (n is periodic number) depending on the solute in the water-non-hydrocarbon system.

Lösungsmittelextraktion von Halogenen

Zusammenfassung Die früher vorgeschlagene Löslichkeitsformel wurde auf die Verteilung von Halogenen zwischen Wasser und einigen typischen organischen Lösungsmitteln angewendet und der Charakter des Parameters in der Formel untersucht. Die Formel gibt die experimentellen Werte der Halogenextraktion zufriedenstellend wieder. Das Verhältnis der -Werte wird vom Gelösten unabhängig vom Lösungsmittel bestimmt. Dieses Verhältnis ist im Wasser-Kohlenwasserstoff-System in allen Fällen gleich 1. Im System aus Wasser und Nicht-Kohlenwasserstoff hängt es vom Gelösten ab und beträgt 3 ^n–1 (n = Periodenzahl des Halogens).
