The thermodynamic functions for the extraction of Sc3+ by liquid cation exchangers HD and HDEHP are determined radiometrically by the temperature coefficient method. The role of diluent dielectric constant on the extraction of Sc3+ by HD is also studied. The thermodynamic parameters determined indicated that the free energy variation for the extraction of Sc3+ by HD is mainly determined by the entropic terms arising from the hydration—dehydration process of the exchanged ions. In the case of HDEHP as extractant, the free energy variations are determined mainly by the entalpic terms of the system.
