Abstract :

The extraction of Gadolinium (Gd) from perchlorate and nitrate media in 1,2-dichloroethane(C2H4Cl2), carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) and chloroform (CHCl3) by mixtures of 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetone (HTTA) and a crown ether benzo-15-crown-5 (B15C5) is investigated.The composition of the extracted species is determined as Gd(TTA)3.nB15C5 (n=1 in nitratemedium and n=2 in perchlorate medium). The values of the equilibrium constant KT,S and βT,Sare calculated. The influence of the water medium and the polarity of organic diluents on theextraction process are discussed.
