“…The extraction efficiency of Aliquat ® 336 was thereby remarkably higher compared with other evaluated extractants (Cyanex ® 923, tri-n-butylphosphate (TBP), bis(2, 4, 4-trimethylpentyl) dithiophosphinic acid (Cyanex ® 301), tri-n-octylamine (TOA); Pancharoen et al, 2009). Myasoedova et al (2008) evaluated different solid supports (polyacetonitrile, Amberlite XAD-7, hyper cross linked polystyrene or multi walled carbon nanotubes) with [P 6,6,6,14 ][Cl], [P 6,6,6,14 ][PF 6 ], and [P 6,6,6,14 ][BF 4 ] as solid-phase extractants for Pt(IV), U(VI) and Pu(IV) from acid solutions, achieving the best performance with polyacrylonitrile impregnated with Cyphos ® IL 101. Next to SLMs, polymer inclusion membranes (PIMs) were evaluated as solid supports for ILs.…”
