Abstract
Solvent extraction process is applied for the extraction of actinides/lanthanides from waste water produced in nuclear industry. Various extractants have been developed for this purpose. More recently separation scientists have shown extensive interest toward ionic liquids (ILs) due to their unique properties. ILs have extensively been used as extraction medium for the recovery of rare earths and actinides or modified to task specific ionic liquids (TSILs); where ionic liquid part has been covalently attached to the extractants. This article highlights some conventional extractants, the use of these extractants in IL medium and the development of TSILs. The effect of medium on extraction efficiency has also been discussed.
