Abstract  

The role of temperature on the distribution of Am3+ and UO22+ was investigated in the extraction systems involving TBP and DOSO as the neutral oxodonors and picrate as the organophilic counter anion. The inner-sphere water molecules and their substitution by the oxodonor molecules appeared to influence the extraction constants of these metal ions. The conditional extraction constants for Am3+ were found to be larger (about 3 order of magnitude) than those for UO22+. From the thermodynamics data it appeared that both TBP as well as DOSO bind Am3+ ion through outer-sphere coordination. In presence of 1M NaCl, though the interaction with TBP remains unaltered DOSO tend to form an inner-sphere complex. On the other hand, UO22+ forms inner-sphere complexes with DOSO and outer-sphere complex with TBP in the absence of salt. In the presence of 1M NaCl, both TBP and DOSO form inner-sphere complexes. The effect of ionic strength on metal ion extraction was also investigated.
