SOLVENT-EXTRACTION OF HEXAVALENT PLUTONIUM WITH 1-PHENYL,3-METHYL,4-BENZOYL PYRAZOLONE-5 (HPMBP) AND BI-DENTATE NEUTRAL DONORS (DBDECMP, DHDECMP AND CMPO) - SYNERGISM AND THERMODYNAMICS
Sa. Pai et al., SOLVENT-EXTRACTION OF HEXAVALENT PLUTONIUM WITH 1-PHENYL,3-METHYL,4-BENZOYL PYRAZOLONE-5 (HPMBP) AND BI-DENTATE NEUTRAL DONORS (DBDECMP, DHDECMP AND CMPO) - SYNERGISM AND THERMODYNAMICS, Radiochimica Acta, 73(2), 1996, pp. 83-87
Synergistic extraction of hexavalent plutonium was studied with HPMBP
in combination with DBDECMP, DHDECMP or CMPO in benzene medium at vari
ous fixed temperatures. The equilibrium constants for the organic phas
e addition reaction (log Ks) were found to follow the trend in basicit
y of the neutral donors. Thermodynamic parameters were evaluated and t
hese indicated that organic phase reaction is an addition and not a su
bstitution reaction. Further, the bidentate donors act as monodentates
.
