AbstractA screening experiment was carried out where the organic phase consisted of different concentrations of 2,6-bis-(5,5,8,8-tetramethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-benzo[1,2,4]triazy-3-yl)-[2,2']bipyridinyl (CyMe4-BTBP) [1], which is the extracting molecule, dissolved in different diluents. The aqueous phase consisted of 0.01 M HNO3 and was spiked with trace amounts of 241Am and 152Eu acting as analogues for actinides and lanthanides. The ionic strength was kept constant at 1.0 M using NaNO3. Three of the selected diluents used to dissolve CyMe4-BTBP were abandoned: n-hexane, TPH and TBB. Another extraction experiment screened out anisole, 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane and benzaldehyde.A kinetic experiment was then performed. Three very different kinetic behaviors were observed in three different organic systems. For a proper understanding of the kinetic mechanism, further investigations are needed.

Extraction of hafnium(IV) was studied from solutions of mixtures of perchloric and nitric acids and of perchloric and hydrochloric acids for constant ionic strength, I = 2, 4, 6, or 8, and for cHf 4 . 10-4 mol l-1. The organic phase was constituted by solutions of some acidic or neutral organophosphorus reagents or of 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetone, 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-benzoyl-5-pyrazolone, or N-benzoyl-N-phenylhydroxylamine in benzene, chloroform, or n-octane. A pronounced synergic extraction of hafnium proceeds only on applying organophosphorus reagents from an aqueous phase whose acidity is not lower than 3M-(HClO4 + HNO3) or 5M-(HClO4 + HCl). The synergic effect was not affected markedly by a variation of the initial concentration of hafnium in the range 1 . 10-8 -4 .10-4 mol l-1, it lowered with increasing initial concentration of the organophosphorus reagent and decreasing concentration of the H+ ions. It is suggested that the hafnium passes into the organic phase in the form of mixed complexes, the salting-out effect of perchloric acid playing an appreciable part.

The composition of Fe(III) complexes extracted from the aqueous phase of constant ionic strength (1M-(H3,Na3,Fe)A, where H3A denotes citric acid) by the toluene solution of trilaurylamine (TLA) has been determined and the respective extraction constants have been calculated. In the concentration range cFe < 10-2 mol l-1 FeA(TLA)2 and FeA(TLA)4(H3A)2-4 are the predominant complexes in the organic phase. The abundance of the (FeA)3(TLA)6(H3A)2 complex in the organic phase increases at higher equilibrium concentrations of Fe(III) in the aqueous phase and at higher concentrations of TLA.

The extraction of microquantities of 85Sr in the presence of 3 . 10-4 - 0.25 mol l-1 polyethylene glycol (PEG 400) (L) with solutions of dicarbolide ({(π-(3)-1,2-B9C2H11)2Co}-) in nitrobenzene (10-3 - 10-2M) was investigated. The occurrence of the maxima (up to one order of magnitude) on the plots of the strontium distribution ratio vs the total PEG concentration was explained in terms of the competition between the charged strontium-PEG complex (SrL2+) and protonized PEG (HL+) during the balancing of the dicarbolide electrostatic charge in the organic phase. Theoretical relations were derived for the shape of this dependence, for the effect of the acid concentration in the aqueous phase and that of the dicarbolide concentration in the organic phase, as well as for the positions of the corresponding maxima. The theoretical dependences are in accordance with the experimental data. The values of the concentration equilibrium constants of the reactions Sr2+ + L + 2 H+ ##e SrL2+ + 2 H+ (Kex(SrL2+)) and H+ + L ##e HL+ (Kex(HL+)) (for variable ionic strength) are Kex(SrL2+) = 3.26 . 108 and Kex(HL+) = 538 at 25 °C.

The partition of 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-benzoylpyrazolone-5 (HA) between aqueous solutions of HClO4 and NaClO4, ionic strength 0.1, and Freon 113 or its 2 : 1 mixture with benzene was studied. The logarithms of the HA distribution constants are 2.84 ± 0.10 and 3.39 ± 0.15 for the two organic phases, respectively. The extraction curves of cerium(III) and europium(III) revealed that in dependence on the pH of the aqueous phase, the metals are transferred into the organic phase in the form of the MA3 complexes (M = Ce, Eu). The stability constants of the complexes MAn in the aqueous phase were determined along with their distribution and extraction constants. For cobalt, zinc, and hafnium, a part of the extraction curves could only be studied, only the extraction constants were therefore determined. The sparing solubility of HA in Freon 113 can be circumvented by using a Freon-benzene mixture 2 : 1, which is still practically incombustible.

Distribution between aqueous phase and benzene or chloroform was studied for 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-benzoylpyrazol-5-ones with 2-chloro, 4-methoxy, 3-nitro, and 4-nitro substitution in the benzoyl group (ionic strength of the aqueous phase 0.1) and for hafnium in their presence (ionic strength 2.0). The distribution and dissociation constants of the reagents and the extraction constants of their hafnium complexes were determined. Hafnium was found to be extracted as the HfA4 species. The extraction parameters of the derivatives in question do not differ substantially from those of the parent substance.

The partitioning of radiotracer 152/151Eu between aqueous sodium oxalate (Na2L) solutions and toluene solutions of thenoyltrifluoroacetone (HTTA) has been studied as a function of the oxalate concentration. The pH of the aqueous phase was controlled by means of sodium acetate – acetic acid mixtures and the ionic strength (I) by NaCl or NaClO4.At low ionic strengths (~0.05) and [L] ~10−4 M EuL+ formed, but at I = 0.95 and [L] ~10−3 M EuL2− also formed. Stability constants for the 1:1 and 1:2 (metal:ligand) complexes are reported.The magnitudes of the stepwise stability constant ratios are discussed.

The presence of negatively charged nanoparticles affects the surface activity of anionic surfactants in an aqueous phase. This effect is mainly caused by the change in ionic strength of the system resulted from the addition of nanoparticles.
