Abstract

Lanthanum nitrate distribution in three-component aqueous-organic systems with D2EHPA from acetate or acetic acid–acetate solutions has been studied, it has been shown that variation in sodium acetate concentration or composition of CH3COONa–CH3COOH mixture can affect metal distribution ratios. It has been found that extraction in three-component mixture of 1: 1: 1 composition (aqueous solution Ln(NO3)3 + CH3COONa + CH3COOH–D2EHPA in hexane–isopropyl alcohol) can provide lanthanide separation, which is dependent on the ratio of sodium acetate and acetic acid in aqueous phase and on D2EHPA concentration in organic phase. Lanthanide–lanthanum separation factors have been calculated for the extraction of lanthanide nitrates from acetic acid–acetate solutions.
