Abstract
Based on a non-equilibrium kinetic extraction technique, the complexation kinetics of diethylenetriamine- pentaacetic acid (DTPA) with rare earth (RE) ions was investigated with different adding sequences of DTPA. The results indicated that the separation factors of βTm/Er and βY/Er were higher when adding DTPA at the start of extraction than those before extraction. The extraction order for Y, Er and Tm was Tm>Y>Er. The root of discrepancy in complexation kinetics of Y, Er and Tm ions with DTPA and the enhanced kinetic separation mechanism were elucidated from the forward complex formation and reverse dissociation rates by the stopped-flow spectrophotometric technique. The apparent complexation rate constants began to decrease gradually with the increase of aqueous pH, while increased with increasing DTPA concentration. The emergence of extraction priority order as Tm>Y>Er was verified according to the calculated reaction kinetic constants of Y, Er and Tm at different pH values.
期刊介绍:
The Transactions of Nonferrous Metals Society of China (Trans. Nonferrous Met. Soc. China), founded in 1991 and sponsored by The Nonferrous Metals Society of China, is published monthly now and mainly contains reports of original research which reflect the new progresses in the field of nonferrous metals science and technology, including mineral processing, extraction metallurgy, metallic materials and heat treatments, metal working, physical metallurgy, powder metallurgy, with the emphasis on fundamental science. It is the unique preeminent publication in English for scientists, engineers, under/post-graduates on the field of nonferrous metals industry. This journal is covered by many famous abstract/index systems and databases such as SCI Expanded, Ei Compendex Plus, INSPEC, CA, METADEX, AJ and JICST.
