To develop a highly-selective adsorbent of Sc(III), EHEP was introduced as a functional group onto a polyethylene fabric with radiation-induced graft polymerization(RIGP). The adsorption performances for Sc(III) were evaluated with aqueous solutions containing Sc(III) and Fe(III) in bath and column tests. As a result of column test, the adsorption capacities of Sc(III) and Fe(III) until the bed volume reached 5000 were 5.22 and 0.12 mg/g, respectively. It means that the amount of collected Sc(III) by the EHEP adsorbent was approximately 44 times higher than that of Fe(III). These results indicate that the grafted adsorbent containing EHEP has an extremely high selectivity for Sc(III) adsorption.展开更多

By M W determination, NMR and the slope method, the extraction reaction is studied.Based upon elementery analyses, IR, NMR as well as MW determination, the compositions ofthe complexes formed with La(NO3)3 and Nd(NO3)3 are studied. Both the standard enthalprchanges(-△H°) and the relative free energy and entropy changes (-△Zr°)(△SPr°)of the ex-.traction reaction are also estimated. The regularity of the variations of Kea(concentrationequilibrium constant), -△AZr° and △Sr°reveals the tetrad effect. The average separationfactor of the adjacent lanthanides is calculated to be as high as 3.04.展开更多

The chromatographic retention behaviors of matrix (La) and NREEs were studied using 2-ethylhexyl hydrogen 2-ethylhexyl phosphonate (P507) chelating resin as the stationary phase and dilute nitric acid as the mobile phase. It is found that the use of pH 1.7 nitric acid enables effective elution of NREEs from HPLC column, but the lanthanum remains on the column. The experimental results show that a favorable separation between matrix lanthanum and NREEs can be obtained within 15 min. The method proposed is applied to the determination of 8 NREEs impurities in high-purity La2O3. The recoveries of 8 NREEs are in the range of 90 % similar to 110 %.展开更多
