| Abstract: | The extraction of polonium from lactic acid (HLac) solutions has been studied with di-n-octyl sulphide (DOS), Cyanex 272, Cyanex 301 and Cyanex 302 extractants dissolved in toluene. For the extraction with DOS, the extracted species is most likely PoO(Lac)2·3DOS. The results for Cyanex 272 also indicate extraction via a solvation mechanism rather than cation exchange. The extracted species is probably PoO(Lac)2·2HA. The major species extracted with Cyanex 301 or Cyanex 302 do not contain any lactate molecules. The extracted species is most likely PoOA2 at low extractant concentrations, while at higher concentrations an adduct complex of the type PoOA2·2HA is formed. The extraction of polonium increases in the order Cyanex 272 < Cyanex 302 < DOS < Cyanex 301, which is the same order as the increase of the number of sulphur atoms in the reagents. |
