Abstract

The extraction of radium and barium into a mixture of 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-benzoylpyrazol-5-one (HPy) and trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO) in n-hexane or cyclohexane was investigated as a function of pH and TOPO concentration. It was found that the synergistic enhancement of the extraction is caused by the formation of mixed complexes of type M(Py)2 (TOPO)3 and the overall extraction constants of both complexes were calculated.
