Equilibrium and kinetic aspects of Am( iii )/Eu( iii ) pair extraction by a bipyridine-based N,O-donor ligand in different solvents
Key Points
The study aims to explore the extraction of Am(III) from lanthanides and its implications for nuclear waste management.
Utilized a bipyridine-based N,O-donor ligand for extraction.
Investigated the extraction process in various solvents.
Assessed both equilibrium and kinetic aspects of the extraction.
Demonstrated effective separation of Am(III) from Eu(III) in selected solvents.
Observed significant differences in extraction efficiency across different solvent types.
Abstract
The separation of Am( iii ) from Ln( iii ) is crucial for the efficient management of high-level nuclear waste and the closure of the nuclear fuel cycle.
