説明
<jats:title>Summary</jats:title> <jats:p>The effect of temperature on the extraction behaviour of Am(III), Pu(IV) and U(VI) from nitric acid medium was studied employing <jats:italic>N</jats:italic>,<jats:italic>N</jats:italic>,<jats:italic>N</jats:italic>′,<jats:italic>N</jats:italic>′-tetraoctyl diglycolamide (TODGA) in <jats:italic>n</jats:italic>-dodecane. The two-phase equilibrium constants (log <jats:italic>K</jats:italic>′<jats:sub>ex</jats:sub>) were calculated and compared with those of other extractants proposed for actinide partitioning, <jats:italic>viz.</jats:italic> octyl-(phenyl)-<jats:italic>N</jats:italic>,<jats:italic>N</jats:italic>-diisobutylcarbamoylmethyl phosphine oxide (CMPO) and <jats:italic>N</jats:italic>,<jats:italic>N</jats:italic>,<jats:italic>N</jats:italic>′,<jats:italic>N</jats:italic>′-dimethyl dibutyl tetradecyl malonamide (DMDBTDMA). Thermodynamic parameters, <jats:italic>viz.</jats:italic> Δ<jats:italic>G</jats:italic>, Δ<jats:italic>H</jats:italic> and Δ<jats:italic>S</jats:italic> for the extraction of actinides by TODGA were also compared with those of CMPO and DMDBTDMA. These studies indicate that the extraction processes of Am(III) and U(VI) are enthalpy driven whereas entropy factor counteracts the extraction. However, in the case of Pu(IV), the extraction process is enthalpy as well as entropy favoured. Role of diluent on the loading of Nd(III) in 0.1 M TODGA has also been investigated.</jats:p>
