OSTI ID:133091

Extraction of yttrium-group lanthanide(III) and yttrium nitrates from multicomponent solutions by mixtures of tri-n-butyl phosphate and diisooctyl methylphosphonate has been examined at 298.15 K and pH 2. A physiocochemical and mathematical model has been developed to describe distribution and mutual influence of rare-earth metal ions in multicomponent solutions as influenced by the total concentration of rare-earth metals in aqueous phase and compositions of the concentrate and of organic phase.
