Popis: Extraction of trace quantities of Am(III) from aqueous HNO3 solutions with solutions of bis(diphenylphosphinylmethyl)phosphinic acid (I), bis[2-(diphenylphosphinyl)phenoxymethyl]phosphinic acid (II), and bis[2-(diphenylphosphinylmethyl)phenoxymethyl]phosphinic acid (III) in dichloroethane was studied. The stoichiometry of the extractable complexes was determined; the effect of organic diluent on the extraction was considered. The extractive power of the reagents toward Am(III) grows in the order III < II < I. Acid I surpasses in the extractive power a neutral bidentate extractant, tetraphenylmethylenediphosphine dioxide (TPMDPD), by three orders of magnitude. A synergistic effect in extraction of Am with mixtures of TPMDPD and acid I was revealed.
