Extraction of lanthanide(III) [praseodymium(III)-lutetium(III)] nitrat
es with trialkylmethylammonium nitrate in toluene at 298.15 K and pH 2
is studied. Extraction isotherms are described with account of format
ion of the compounds (R4N)(i)[Ln(NO3)(3+i)] in the organic phase. The
calculated extraction constants decrease in the series praseodymium(II
I)-lutetium(III).
