Group separation of transplutonium and rare earth elements by liquid chromatography with free stationary phase using 2,4,6-tris[ditolylphosphoryl] - 1,3,5 - triazine as extractant

Methods of group separation of trace amounts of transplutonium elements (TPE) and weight amounts of rare earth elements (REE) in the systems on the basis of bifunctional neutral organophosphoric compounds by the method of liquid chromatography with a free stationary phase have been developed. When solution of 2,4,6 - tris[ditolylphosphoryl] - 1,3,5 - triazine in chloroform was used as stationary phase, REE were the first to be washed out by 0.5 mol/l NH4SCN-1 mol/l HCl solution, then TPE - by 0.025 mol/l of oxyethylidenediphosphonic acid in water. the fractions contained about 100% of one of the groups without impurity of the other. 7 refs.; 6 figs
