Features of solvent extraction of lanthanides and actinides
Abstract
Solvent extraction is a powerful method for lanthanide and actinide intra- and inter-group separations. Apart of the general parameters governing the extraction.f-electron elements exhibit several peculiarities of the process. Two of them are described in the paper: double-double (tetrad) effect in the lanthanide and actinide series and itinerant properties of the actinides (III) in respect to the lanthanide series, as well as the effects of inner- and outer-sphere hydration of the extracted species. Extraction chromatography is presented as the most powerful technique of the extractive separation.

The oxygen atoms in solvating extractants enable aqueous solution molecules to be incorporated into the Li+ coordination sphere to form an extractable solvated complex.
“The oxygen atoms in solvating extractants enable the aqueous solution molecules to be incorporated into the Li + coordination sphere to form an extractable solvated complex (Fuks and Majdan, 2000; Roundhill, 2001).”

“Decrease in ionic radii increase the strength of ion–dipole interactions which implies that the heavier members of lanthanide series have more tendency for bonding with organic solvent molecules than the lighter ones [32].”

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.
