Extraction constants (Kex± & Kex) were determined at 298 K for the extraction of sodium picrate (NaPic) by nitrobenzene (NB), 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE) and dichloromethane using 3m-crown-m ethers and their benzo-derivatives (m = 5, 6; abbreviated as L) together with the determination of conditional distribution constants (KD,Pic) of picrate ion, Pic-, into these diluents. The K1,org (= [NaLPic]org/[NaL+]org[Pic-]org) values at the organic (org) phases, such as NB & DCE, were calculated from the relation Kex/Kex± = K1,org. Distribution equilibrium-potential differences (Dfeq) at extraction equilibria were evaluated from the equation Dfeq = -0.05916´(log KD,Pic - constant) at 298 K. Correlations of the above equilibrium constants, particularly Kex±, with Dfeq were examined. Furthermore, the standard formal potentials for Na+ transfers across the interfaces were briefly evaluated from calculated Dfeq, [Na+] and [Pic-]org. The above extraction systems were characterized by K1,org and the complex formation constants of Na+ with L in the org phases.

Extraction of Pb(II) with picrate ion [Pic−] and 0, 0.58, 15, 48, or 97 mmol dm−3 Cd(NO3)2 by benzo-18-crown-6 ether (B18C6; L as its symbol) into benzene (Bz) was studied. Three kinds of extraction constants, Kex, Kex±, and KPb/PbL (or Kex2±), were determined at 298 K: these constants were defined as [PbLPic2]Bz/P, [PbLPic+]Bz[Pic−]Bz/P, and [PbL2+]Bz/[Pb2+][L]Bz (or [PbL2+]Bz([Pic−]Bz)2/P), respectively. The symbol P shows [Pb2+][L]Bz[Pic−]2 and the subscript “Bz” denotes the Bz phase, Bz saturated with water. Simultaneously, conditional distribution constants, KD,Pic (=[Pic−]Bz/[Pic−]), of Pic− with distribution equilibrium-potential differences (dep) were determined. Then, based on the above four constants and others, the component equilibrium constants of K1,Bz (=[PbLPic+]Bz/[PbL2+]Bz[Pic−]Bz), K2,Bz (=[PbLPic2]Bz/[PbLPic+]Bz[Pic−]Bz), and KD,PbL (=[PbL2+]Bz/[PbL2+]) were obtained. Using these constants, the Pb(II) extraction with B18C6 under the co-presence of Cd(II) in the water phase was characterized. In such a characterization, I and IBz dependences on the constants were mainly discussed, where their symbols denote the ionic strength of the water phase and that of the Bz one, respectively.

Abstract Natural clay rocks like Opalinus (OPA) and Callovo-Oxfordian (COx) clay rock are considered as potential host rocks for deep geological disposal of nuclear waste. However, small organic molecules such as propionate and lactate exist in clay rock pore water and might enhance Np mobility through a complexation process. Therefore, reliable complex formation data are required in the frame of the Safety Case for a nuclear waste repository. A solvent extraction technique was applied for the determination of ${\rm{NpO}}_2^ + $ complexation with propionate and lactate. Extraction was conducted from isoamyl alcohol solution containing 10−3 M TTA and 5 · 10−4 M 1,10-phenanthroline. Experiments were performed in 0.5–2.6 m NaCl solutions at temperatures ranging from 22 to 60 °C. Formation of 1:1 Np(V) complexes for propionate and lactate was found under the studied conditions. The SIT approach was applied to calculate equilibrium constants β°(T) at zero ionic strength from the experimental data. Log β°(T) is found linearly correlated to 1/T for propionate and lactate, evidencing that heat capacity change is near 0. Molal reaction enthalpy and entropy ( ${\Delta _{\rm{r}}}H_{\rm{m}}^ \circ $ and ${\Delta _{\rm{r}}}S_{\rm{m}}^ \circ $ ) could therefore be derived from the integrated van’t Hoff equation. Data for log β° (298.15 K) are in agreement with literature values for propionate and lactate. Np(V) speciation was calculated for concentrations of acetate, propionate and lactate measured in clay pore waters of COx. In addition, the two site protolysis non-electrostatic surface complexation and cation exchange (2SPNE SC/CE) model was applied to quantitatively describe the influence of Np(V) complexation on its uptake on Na-illite, a relevant clay mineral of OPA and COx.
