STUDIES OF THE EXTRACTION BEHAVIOR OF Am~(3+) AND LANTHANIDES WITH 7804 EXTRACTANT 1.STUDIES ON EXTRACTION CONDITIONSHOU RUIQIN(Northwest lnstitute of Nuclear Technology,Xi’an,710024)JIAO RONGZHOU ; ZHU YONGJUN(Institute of Nuclear Energy Technology,Tsinghua University,Beijing,100084)ABSTRACT The extraction behavior of Am~(3+) and lanthanides from nitrate solution using β-oxime extrac-tant, 7804,is studied.Distribution ratios are examined as a function of contact time,concentrationof extractant,pH and extraction temperature. The suitable extraction conditions are as follows :equilibrium time,30min;temperature,20土1℃;extractant concentration,0.2mol/l,pH,4.8—5.1.Under these experimental conditions,7804 forms 2 :1 complex with Am~(3+) or lanthanides.The extractability sequence is in the order of Am>Eu>Sm>Nd>Pr>Ce>La Key words Americium Lanthanides Extraction 2-hydroxy-5-alkyl-acetophenone oxime(7804)
