As part of our efforts to develop efficient extractants for highly alkaline high-level waste at the Savannah River Site, extraction studies of Sm(III) by three types of sulfonamide ligands have been carried out. Aqueous phases of various alkalinity (pH 10 -14) were used, while dichloromethane was the organic phase. Analysis of the aqueous phases by the Arsenazo-III UV-Vis spectrophotometric method was carried out following stripping of the organic phases with 0.1 M HNO3. The results indicate that all three types of sulfonamides exhibit strong Sm(III) extraction and recovery at pH range of 10-11.5 in the presence of an organic base (triethylamine). A UV-Vis titration study of disulfonamide (DSA-7) with Sm(III) is indicative of 1:1 M/L complexation in solution in accordance with our previously published work with analogous disulfonamides.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
