Abstract:
STUDIES ON URANYL DECORPORATION BY MIXTUKES OF 2,3-DIHYDROXY-5-CARBO-METHOXYBENZYL AMINOCARBOXYLIC ACID AMIDE AND EDTAWANG YONGWEI;YAN QINGYU;XIE YUYUAN(Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica, Academia Sinica, 200031)ABSTRACT The ternary complexations of uranyl with six 2.3-dihydroxy-5-carbo-methoxybenzylaminocarboxylic acid amide chelating agents and ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid(EDTA) areinvestigated by potentiometric titration at 25℃ and an ionic strength of 0.1mol/l KNO_3. Compo-sitions and formation constants of the mixed ligand chelates are calculated using SCOGS2 pro-gram. The stabilities of mixed ligand chelates are compared. EDTA is likely to coordinate touranyl in EDDA forrn,Computer simulation shows that the decorporation in high uranyl concen-tration using mixtures of chelating agents may be possible.
