Abstract
The extraction behaviour of Am(III) and Eu(III) from nitrate aqueous m edium by thenoyltrifluoroacetone (HTTA) and its mixture with triphenyl arsine oxide(Ph3AsO) in chloroform has been investigated. The addition of Ph3AsO was found to enhance the extraction of both cations. With H TTA alone, the stoichiometry of the extracted species was found to be M(OH)2-TTA(HTTA)2, where M=Eu(III) or Am(III). With HTTA-Ph3AsO mixtur e, the extracted species were Eu(NO3)2TTA-(HTTA)2Ph3AsO and Am(OH)(TTA )2HTTAPh3AsO for Eu(III) and Am(III), respectively. The different para meters affecting the separation of these two radionuclides are given a nd discussed.
