摘要
The extraction of Pu(IV) from nitric acid medium using TBP has been compared with two diluents using n-dodecane and a RTIL, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulphonyl)imide (C(4)mimTf(2)N). Kinetics of extraction was slower in RTIL compared to n-dodecane. The mechanism of extraction was found to be cation exchange at lower acidity which changes to the formation of a neutral complex at higher acidity greater than 1M HNO3 for RTIL. Back extraction of Pu from the loaded organic phase was equally effected using 0.1M oxalic acid and a mixture of guanidine carbonate and EDTA as strippant from both the extraction systems under study. Radiation stability and reusability studies showed promise for future application.
