Abstract
The extraction of technetium by DB18C6 and 18C6 into nitrobenzene and different solvents from aqueous phase containing NaBH4 was investigated. The experimental data indicate that the main extracted species have the formulas TcO/OH/2.CE or 2TcO/OH/2.3CE, where CE refers to the crown ethers. The effects of crown ether concentration, pH and organic solvent on the distribution ratio are discussed. The extent of extraction from different solvents decreases in the order nitrobenzene >acetylacetone>1-butanol>toluene> benzene.
