Description

The extraction behavior of several lanthanide ions (La(III), Nd(III), Sm(III), Gd(III), Yb(III)) from the nitric acid medium using ionic liquid [C4mim][NTf2] solvent containing N,N'-dimethyl-N,N'-dioctyl-3-oxadiglycolamide (DMDODGA) was studied. The effects of the concentration of HNO3, H+ and NO3- in aqueous phase, as well as the DMDODGA concentration and temperature on the distribution ratio of Ln(III) were analyzed. The distribution ratio of lanthanide ions into [C4mim][NTf2] is much higher than that reported for aliphatic hydrocarbon diluents. The extraction mechanism was demonstrated to agree with the cation-exchange mechanism. The stoichiometric ratio of Ln (III)/DMDODGA complex is 1:3 or 1:4. (author)
