Abstract

Mixed-ligand chelate extraction of lanthanides (Ln) such as La, Pr, Eu, Ho, and Yb into chloroform with 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-(trifluoroacetyl)-5-pyrazolone (HPMTFP) and with one of three phosphine oxide compounds is studied. The phosphine oxide compounds employed in the present work are tri-n-octylphosphine oxide (TOPO), n-octylphenyl(N,N-diisobutylcarbamoylmethyl)phosphine oxide (CMPO), and methylenebis(diphenylphosphine oxide) (MBDPO). Lanthanide ions are found to be extracted from a 0.1 M sodium perchlorate medium as Ln(PMTFP)/sub 3/(TOPO)/sub 2/ and Ln(PMTFP)/sub 3/(CMPO), respectively. In the extraction of lanthanides with the mixture of HPMTFP and MBDPO, the extracted species are found to be Ln(PMTFP)/sub 3/(MBDPO) or Ln(PMTFP)/sub 2/(ClO/sub 4/)(MBDPO)/sub 2/ in the absence or presence of sodium perchlorate, respectively. The extraction constants of these systems do not increase monotonically with atomic number but have a maximum at Eu or Ho. 11 references, 4 tables.
