Thermodynamic studies of synergistic solvent extraction of Pa(V) by bis(2-ethyl hexyl) phosphoric acid mixed with some electron doner compounds

Journal Article · · Solvent Extr. Ion Exch.; (United States)
Pa(V) was extracted from perchloric-perchlorate of 1M ionic strength solution at different temperatures. Thermodynamic parameters of PaO(OH (H(DEHP)/sub 2/)/sub 2/ formed in the organic phase were calculated and discussed. Some organophosphorus compounds: trioctyl phosphine oxide (TOPO); triphenylphosphine oxide (TPPO) and tributyl phosphate (TBP) were used as adducts mixed with HDEHP for Pa(V) extraction. The distribution ratio studies suggest the following species in the organic phase: PaO(OH) (H(DEHP)/sub 2/)/sub 2/. TOPO; PaO(OH (H(DEHP)/sub 2/)/sub 2/.TPPO and PaO(OH) (H(DEHP)/sub 2/)/sub 2/.2TTPPO; PaO(OH) (H(DEHP)/sub 2/)/sub 2/. 2TBP. The data obtained for ..delta.. H, ..delta.. G and ..delta.. S of the synergistic species were discussed and the reaction mechanisms were proposed. Antagonism was observed in the extraction by HDEHP-TBP at low concentrations of the TBP. 9 references, 4 figures, 4 tables.
