Abstract
ABSTRACT Solvent extraction of yttrium(III) from chloride and nitrate solutions were carried out using two bifunctional ionic liquids Cyphos IL 104 and [A336/Cy272]. Comparative study with their constituent extractants showed higher extraction abilities of the ionic liquids for Y(III). The extraction behavior of yttrium using the above ionic liquids was studied as function of different parameters. Ion association neutral complexes were formed in the organic phase. 0.5 M HNO3 could strip 82% and 75.6 % yttrium from the loaded organic phases of 0.01M [A336/Cy272] and Cyphos IL 104, respectively. Separation studies involving binary systems were also investigated.
