The extraction of phosphoric acid with a solution of tri-n-butyl phosphate (TBP) in toluene from its individual aqueous solutions in a concentration range of 0-11 M is investigated. The experiments are performed at room temperature (20 ± 1 °С). The isotherms of extraction of phosphoric acid under conditions of equality of the volumes of the saturating aqueous phase and the receiving organic phase are constructed. The extraction isotherm is nonlinear, but to an acid concentration in the aqueous phase of ~ 8 M, it is close to linear, and at higher concentrations, the amount of extracted acid increases harshly. To establish the mechanism of acid extraction in the system phosphoric acid – 0.1 M solution of TBP in toluene the method of combining a laboratory and computational experiment is proposed. The optimal parameters describing the extraction of phosphoric acid from natural aqueous solutions are determined. Calculations performed in two approximations were made. In the first approximation the condition of ideality of systems is accepted. In the second approximation the deviations of the properties of phosphoric acid solutions in aqueous solution are taken into account. For the two approximations the preferential extraction of phosphoric acid molecules in the form of H3PO4 ∙ nTBP type solvates (where n = 1, 3) is shown. In the range of concentrations of phosphoric acid in the aqueous phase from 6 to 11 M, the values of equilibrium constants are estimated, which describe the processes and reactions occurring in the system: stepwise dissociation of acid, distribution of TBP, formation of solvates of phosphoric acid, distribution of the resulting solvates of acid, displacement of ionic equilibria in aqueous phase. Mathematically these processes are taken into account using the law of mass action and the equations of material balance. It is believed that the system has established an equilibrium corresponding to a given temperature and pressure. The calculated values of solvate concentrations are in satisfactory agreement with experimental data.

One of the options being considered for the disposal of radioactive waste is deep burial in crystalline rocks such as granite. It is generally recognised that in such rocks groundwater flows mainly through the fracture networks so that these will be the “highways” for the return of radionuclides to the biosphere. The main factors retarding the radionuclide transport have been considered to be the slow water movement in the fissures over the long distances involved together with sorption both in man-made barriers surrounding the waste, and onto rock surfaces and degradation products in the fissures.

<div> <p>The extraction of the succinate dianion from a neutral aqueous solution into dichloromethane is obtained using a lipophilic cage-like dicopper(II) complex as the extractant. The quantitative extraction exploits the high affinity of the succinate anion for the cavity of the azacryptate. The anion is effectively transferred from the aqueous phase, buffered at pH 7 with HEPES, into dichloromethane. A 1:1 extractant:anion adduct is obtained. Extraction can be easily monitored by following changes in the UV-visible spectrum of the dicopper complex in dichloromethane, and by measuring the residual concentration of succinate in the aqueous phase by HPLC−UV. Considering i) the relevance of polycarboxylates in biochemistry, as e.g. normal intermediates of the TCA cycle, ii) the relevance of dicarboxylates in the environmental field, as e.g. waste products of industrial processes, and iii) the recently discovered role of succinate and other dicarboxylates in pathophysiological processes including cancer, our results open new perspectives for research in all contexts where selective recognition, trapping and extraction of polycarboxylates is required. </p> </div>

The possibility of using an aqueous stratified system of antipyrine — sulfosalicylic acid — water for the selective isolation of scandium macro- and microquantities for subsequent determination is studied. The proposed extraction system eliminates the usage of toxic organic solvents. The organic phase with a volume of 1.2 to 2.0 ml, resulting from delamination of the aqueous phase containing antipyrine and sulfosalicylic acid is analysed to assess the possibility of using such systems for metal ions extraction. Condition necessary for the formation of such a phase were specified: the ratio of the initial components, their concentration, presence of inorganic salting out agents. The optimum ratio of antipyrine to sulfosalicylic acid is 2:1 at concentrations of 0.6 and 0.3 mol/liter in a volume of the aqueous phase of 10 ml. The obtained phase which consists of antipyrinium sulfosalicylate, free antipyrine and water, quantitatively extracts macro- and microquantities of scandium at pH = 1.54. Macro- and microquantities of yttrium, terbium, lanthanum, ytterbium and gadolinium are not extracted under the aforementioned conditions thus providing selective isolation of scandium from the bases containing yttrium, ytterbium, terbium, lanthanum, and gadolinium.
