Analysis of the Interaction between Organophosphorus Acid and Tertiary Amine Extractants in the Binary Mixtures by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR)
Abstract
In the synergistic solvent extraction of rare earth elements by binary mixtures of organophosphorus acid and tertiary amine extractants, the extraction reaction depends on the nature and strength of the interaction between the two extractants in the mixtures. In order to correlate qualitatively the interaction in different mixtures, the FT-IR spectra for organophosphorus acid (D2EHPA, PC88A, and Cyanex 272) and tertiary amine (Alamine 336 and TEHA) extractants and their mixtures have been analyzed. The primary focus was on investigating the changes in the characteristic functional groups of acidic and amine extractants in the binary mixtures as the strength and concentration of these extractants varied. IR spectroscopy of the organics confirmed the interaction in the binary mixtures, and strength of the interaction increased with the increase in the acidity of acidic extractant and the basicity of the amine extractant.

Interactions can occur in synergistic extraction systems such as Cyanex 272 and Alamine 336/TEHA for separation of rare earth elements, Cyanex 301 and TOA for extraction of Co(II) and Ni(II), and Cyanex 302 and Alamine 308 for separation of Nd(III) and Zn(II).
“For instance, interactions can occur in the following synergistic extraction systems, such as Cyanex 272 and Alamine 336 / tertiary amine (TEHA, tris-2-ethylhexylamine) for the separation of rare earth elements, Cyanex 301 and TOA for the extraction of Co(II) and Ni(II), Cyanex 302 and Alamine 308 for the separation of Nd(III) and Zn(II) [16,18-21].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
