Abstract

Extraction capability and selectivity of acetyl-containing phosphine oxides R2P(O)CMe2CH2C(O)Me (R = Pr, Bu, n-C5H11, n-C6H13, n-C8H17, Ph) toward actinides (UVI, ThIV) and trivalent lanthanides (LaIII, NdIII, HoIII, YbIII) were studied. The new ligands were shown to be more efficient and selective in the extraction of uranium, thorium, and heavy lanthanides from nitric acid solutions into chloroform as compared to the known extractants such as carbamoylphosphine oxide Ph2P(O)CH2C(O)NBu2, trioctylphosphine oxide (n-C8H17)3P(O), and tributyl phosphate (n-BuO)3P(O).
