Hj. Cristau et al., Selective extraction of actinides by polyphosphine polyoxides through supported liquid membrane, J RAD NUCL, 241(3), 1999, pp. 543-547
Extraction of actinides like neptunium, plutonium and americium have been p
erformed using polyphosphine polyoxides. Phosphorus compounds with (O)PCP(O
) linkage exhibit very high liquid-liquid extraction properties. They demon
strate also quantitative and selective transport properties of some actinid
es by supported liquid membrane (SLM) technology.
