Abstrakt: The extraction ability and selectivity of nonmacrocyclic (8-quinolinol and 2,3-dihydroxynaphthelene) and macrocyclic (sulfur-containing calixarene derivatives) ligands toward rare earth and transplutonium elements in carbonate media was studied. Both macrocyclic and nonmacrocyclic derivatives showed moderate selectivity to americium in the Am/Eu pair (separation factor SF from 1.6 to 14 at pH > 12), and sulfur-containing calixarenes showed also high selectivity to Am in the Am/Cm pair (SF 3–8 at pH > 13). The compounds studied show promise as extractants for group recovery and separation of actinides, and also for separation of rare earth and transplutonium elements in carbonate media.
