S. Sujatha et al., EFFECT OF WATER-SOLUBLE COMPLEXING AGENT ON THE EXTRACTION OF CE(III)AND ND(III) BY 2-ETHYLHEXYLPHOSPHONIC ACID MONO-2-ETHYLHEXYL ESTER, Journal of radioanalytical and nuclear chemistry, 174(2), 1993, pp. 271-278
Extraction of Ce(III) and Nd(III) by 2-ethylhexylphosphonic acid mono-
Zethylhexyl ester (EHEHPA) in the presence of water soluble complexing
agent, glycine, has been studied. An improvement in separation factor
between these lanthanides is observed. ?he extraction data have been
analyzed theoretically, taking into account complexation of the metal
in the aqueous phase with glycine and chloride ion and plausible compl
exation in the organic phase.
