Abstract
Extraction of microamounts of radioactive cesium and strontium by 25,27-bis(1-octyloxy)calix[4]-26,28-crown-6 (DOC[4]C6) and dicyclohexyl-18-crown-6 (DCH18C6) from nitric acidic solutions into alcohols, ketones and some other solvents was studied. We concentrated on collecting detailed data possibly useful for subsequent evaluations of appropriate schemes and mechanisms. Although not testing in fullness the system with DOC[4]C6 and DCH18C6 in 1-octanol, we present some evidence of its suitability such as fast kinetics, chemical and radiation stability, and invariance of parameters (process stability) after several times repeated batch extraction-strip cycles. Some peculiarities of a possible mechanism of extraction in these systems are reported.
