Separation studies of selected actinide ions with 4-benzoyl-5-methyl-2-phenyl-pyrazol-3-thione and tri-n-octylphosphine oxide

  • 1. Lawrence Berkeley Lab., Berkeley, CA (United States)

Description

The first measurements of distribution coefficients (Kd) for Bk(III), Es(III), and Fm(III) between aqueous perchlorate solutions and solutions of 4-benzoyl-5-methyl-2-phenyl-pyrazol-3-thione (BMPPT) and the synergist tri-n-octyl-phosphine oxide (TOPO) in toluene are reported. 250Bk, 249Cf, 254Es, and 253Fm were used in these studies. The Kd for 241Am was also measured and is in agreement with previously published results. These results show that the Kd's decrease somewhat with increasing atomic number for the actinides with a dip at Cf. In general, the Kd's for these actinides are about a factor of 5 to 10 greater than the Kd's for the homologous lanthanides. The larger Kd's for the actinides are consistent with greater covalent bonding between the actinide metal ion and the sulfur bonding site in the ligand
