“…It is known that data on phase equilibria in these systems is very important for modeling the extraction separation of rare earth elements in a nitric acid medium with tributyl phosphate. Phase equilibria and thermodynamic properties in the subsystems H 2 O–HNO 3 , H 2 O–TBP, H 2 O–HNO 3 –TBP, H 2 O–Eu(NO 3 ) 3 , − H 2 O–Gd(NO 3 ) 3 , − H 2 O–HNO 3 –Eu(NO 3 ) 3 , and H 2 O–HNO 3 –Gd(NO 3 ) 3 are well studied. Although liquid–liquid equilibria in the H 2 O–HNO 3 –Ln(NO 3 ) 3 –TBP (Ln = Eu, Gd) systems were investigated, the data are insufficient. − In some studies, authors used trace concentrations of REEs. − In other studies, authors investigated a wide range of concentrations of nitric acid and rare earth elements but did not present the total compositions of the systems. − Thus, these data cannot be used to construct the rigorous thermodynamic model.…”
