Abstract:
A novel CMPO (carbamoylmethylphosphine oxide) based task specific ionic liquid (TSIL) with an NTf(2)(-) counter anion was synthesized and evaluated for actinide/lanthanide extraction from acidic feed solutions using several room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs). The extraction data were compared with those obtained with CMPO in the same set of RTILs and also in the molecular diluent, n-dodecane. The extracted species were analyzed by the conventional slope analysis method and the extraction followed an ion-exchange mechanism. The nature of bonding in the extracted complexes was investigated by various spectroscopic techniques such as FT-IR and UV-visible spectroscopy.
