Abstract
Abstract The changes of the distribution constants Kd of lanthanide chlorides in the system: zeolite Y (solid phase)–sodium chloride (aqueous phase) were investigated. The evident tetrad effect in the change of log Kd values within the lanthanide series was observed and the attempt of its explanation through the comparison of covalence in Ln O bonds existing in: the Al O(1/3Ln) Si , Al O(1/3Ln) species, i.e. those formed by siloxane and silanols in the zeolite phase and in the aquoions Ln ( H 2 O ) 8 – 9 3 + present in the aqueous phase was presented. The Ln–zeolite samples were characterized by N2 adsorption and magnetic measurements. The magnetic moments were determined over the range of 77–303 K. They obey the Curie–Weiss law. The values of μeff calculated for Ln–zeolite Y are much higher than those obtained for Ln3+ by Hund and Van Vleck.
