摘要:

The uptake of several actinide ions [U(VI), Pu(IV), Np(IV), Th(IV] and Am(DI)) from nitric and hydrochloric acid solutions, and of U(VI) from near-neutral solutions by the new chelating ion-exchange resin, DiphonixTM, has been investigated. Diphonix is a polyfunctional resin containing sulfonic and gem-diphosphonic acid groups chemically bonded in a styrene-divinylbenzene polymeric network. Comparison of the acid dependencies of the actinide ions uptake measured with Diphonix with those obtained using a commercial sulfonic -type resin and a resin containing both sulfonic and monophosphonic aCid groups, hat Shown that Diphonix binds the actinides via a different kind of chemical interaction, involving the.formation of chelate complexes through the phosphoryl groups of the gem-diphosphonic acids. As a consequence, Diphonix is superior to other resins in extracting actinide ions from very acidic solutions. A better performance of Diphonix is also observed with the uptake of uranium from neutral solutions. Conditions for efficient stripping of actinide species from the resin have been found.

摘要:

Diphonix(tm)is a new dual-mechanism polyfunctional resin containing sulfonic and gem-diphosphonic acid groups. In Part 1 of this series the effectiveness of Diphonix in removing actinide ions from very acidic solutions was demonstrated. In this paper we report on the uptake of various transition and post-transition metal ions with Diphonix and two other resins for comparison. The results show that Diphonix has a very high affinity for Fe(III) and Cr(III) in very acidic solutions. From neutral solutions Diphonix exhibits a high selectivity for lead and transition metals over calcium. Conditions for efficient stripping of the investigated ions have been found.
