Popis:	The bulk extraction of Nd(III) from 4 M nitric acid medium was studied in a solution of N,N-di-octyl-2-hydroxyacetamide (DOHyA) in n-dodecane as a function of γ absorbed dose up to 750 kGy. The average size of reverse micellar aggregates in the irradiated and un-irradiated DOHyA samples after the extraction of Nd(III) was measured by dynamic light scattering (DLS) spectroscopy. The effect of absorbed dose of γ radiation and concentration of Nd(III) in the organic phase on the aggregation behavior of DOHyA was investigated by DLS measurements and ATR-FTIR spectroscopy. The data on irradiated and un-irradiated samples were compared. FT-IR analysis of the irradiated samples of DOHyA showed the formation of degradation products which were mainly identified as hydroxyacetic acid and primary or secondary amines.
