Abstract
The extraction of Am3+ and Eu3+ by octyl(phenyl)-N,N-diisobutyl carbamoylmethylphosphine oxide (CMPO) in eight imidazolium-based ionic liquids and in n-dodecane was studied and compared. Slope analysis indicates that the ligand/metal ratio in the extracted complexes in ionic liquids is much larger than that in n-dodecane. Nitric acid has different impacts on the extraction, depending greatly on the nature of the ionic liquids. A mixed-extraction mechanism, namely cation exchange plus the formation of neutral complexes (solvation), was proposed for the extraction in the ionic liquid systems. In addition, temperature was found to have a remarkable influence on the extraction. Highly exothermic enthalpy changes were obtained for the extraction in ionic liquid systems. This work provides further insight into the particular role played by the unique properties of ionic liquids in the extraction of metal ions from nitric acid media.
