Abstract
The present investigation deals with understanding the effect of different diluents on the extraction properties of Cs+ using novel calix crown ether. The extraction efficiency was found follow the same order as the dielectric constant of the diluents. The extraction mechanism and the species involved during extraction were evaluated. The extraction process was found to be fast. Suitable stripping procedure was also optimized using different aqueous complexing agents. The effect of radiation exposure on the performance of these solvent systems in extraction of Cs+ ion was investigated up to 1000 kGy. The performance of octanol and isodecyl alcohol was found to be optimized with respect to radioactive plant scale operations.
