Summary

The extracting ability of ß-diphosphoramides of the type R-N[P(O)(NMe2)2]2 with R=-CH3 (NIPA), -C12H25 (ODIPA), or -C16H33 (OHDIPA) for metal ions such as lanthanides, uranyl, and the transuranium elements Am(III) and Pu(IV) has been studied. Extraction yields depend on the nature of the ligand, the organic diluent (nitromethane, kerosene, tert-butylbenzene), the concentration of nitric acid in the aqueous phase, and the ligand-to-metal ratio, Q.

The results show that the bidentate phosphoramides are very efficient extractants for all of the metals studied, even at low ratios Q. The presence of nitric acid generally enhances the extraction yields. On the other hand, selectivity is rather poor with these ligands.

A particular effort has been made to determine the nature of extracted species by NMR spectroscopy.
