The equilibrium extraction behavior is studied for a series of representative tervalent lanthanide ions, Pr, Eu, and Yb, using chloroform solutions containing either 5,7-dibromo-8-quinolinol (HQ) alone or combined with 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) or tetra-n-heptylammonium chloride (R/sub 4/NCl). The results demonstrate that these lanthanides are extracted as LnQ/sub 3/.HQ or in the presence of phen as LnQ/sub 3/.phen or in the presence of R/sub 4/NCl as R/sub 4/NLnQ/sub 4/. Although 8-quinolinol forms more stable chelates with these metals, the higher acid dissociation constant of the dibromo compound results in increased extraction constants, making extraction possible in lower pH ranges. Furthermore, the effect of phen or R/sub 4/NCl on the extraction and separation of lanthanides by 5,7-dibromo-8-quinolinol is more pronounced than their effect in the 8-quinolinol system.
