Abstract： To isolate and separate thorium from nitric acid solutions, three silica-based anion exchange resins were synthesized. Batch experiments were carried out to investigate adsorption behavior of thorium in nitric acid solutions. Adsorption at different concentrations of nitric acid and thorium, influence of contact time and coexisting metal ions, and effect of NO3- were investigated in detail. It was found that at high HNO3 concentrations, the resins exhibited higher adsorption capacity and better affinity towards thorium. The adsorption kinetics could be described by the pseudo-second order model equation, while the adsorption isotherms were well correlated by the Langmuir model. The maximum capacity towards thorium species on SiPyR-N4 was evaluated at 27–28 mg/g-resin. The thermodynamic parameters indicated the adsorption was an exothermic reaction. The presence of NO3- was found to promote the retention of the thorium species.

Abstract： The water-soluble radiolytic products of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide ionic liquid ([C2mim][NTf2]) under γ-radiation, such as CF3SOOH, CF3SO2NH2, HF, and H2SO3, were identified by using 1H NMR, 19F NMR, and ion chromatography. The extraction behavior of Dy3+ using irradiated [C2mim][NTf2] in combination with 2,6-di(5,6-diisobutyl-1,2,4-triazin-3-yl)pyridine (isobutyl-BTP) was studied and the abnormal increase of Dy3+ partitioning after irradiation is mainly attributed to the precipitation formed between Dy3+ and radiolytic products of [C2mim][NTf2] (F- and SO32-). Washing irradiated [C2mim][NTf2] with water provides a simple method for ionic liquid recycling.

Abstract： Extraction behavior of lanthanides (La, Eu, Dy, Lu) from HNO3 solution was studied using a novel extraction system with hydrophobic ionic liquid being diluent and isobutyl-BTP being extractant. Compared with that in isobutyl-BTP/cyclohexane extraction system, application of ionic liquid as the extracting phase provided unprecedented enhancement of the extraction performance of isobutyl-BTP for lanthanides. It was found that the isobutyl-BTP/[Cnmim][NTf2] extraction system is favorable to get good extraction at low acidity condition (<0.1 M). Of all the isobutyl-BTP/ [Cnmim][NTf2] (n=2, 6, 8) systems, isobutyl-BTP/[C2mim][NTf2] extraction system provides the best extraction performance and fastest extraction kinetics within 5 min towards Dy3+. The extraction is spontaneous endothermic and temperature is good for extraction. The transfer of lanthanides, in isobutyl-BTP/[C2mim][NTf2] extraction system, proceeded via a cation exchange mechanism, in contrast to extraction of neutral complex in the cyclohexane system.
