Abstract

The extraction of Ce(III) from HNO3 solutions with a mixture of chlorinated cobalt dicarbollide (CCD) and dibutyl hydrogen phosphate (HDBP) or its zirconium salt (HDBP ZS) in m-nitrobenzotrifluoride was studied by the method of isomolar series. A considerable synergic effect S was observed, reaching a maximum in a mixture of HDBP with CCD at the molar ratio HDBP : CCD = 7 : 1 (S = 100). The highest Ce(III) distribution ratios D Ce are observed with mixtures of CCD and HDBP ZS (1 : 6 and 1 : 4). An increase in the HNO3 concentration causes changes in D Ce and S to different extents depending on the type of HDBP ZS. The synergic effect was attributed to the formation of coordination compounds that are more hydrophobic than the initial compounds and have stronger bonds of Ce(III) with the ligands.
