EQUILIBRIUM DISTRIBUTION STUDIES OF DYSPROSIUM NITRATE-ERBIUM NITRATE- NITRIC ACID-TRIBUTYL PHOSPHATE SYSTEMS
Separate equilibrium data were obtained for the distribution of Dy(NO/ sub 3/)/sub 3/- HNO/sub 3/, Er(NO/sub 3/)/sub 3/- HNO/sub 3/, and Dy(NO/sub 3/)< i3>iEr(NO/sub 3/)/sub 3/-HNO/sub 3/ systems between water and tributyl phosphate. Equilibrium data for the Dy(NO/sub 3/)/sub 3/- HNO/sub 3/ and Er(NO/sub 3/)/sub 3/ -HNO/sub 3/ systems were correlated in such a manner that the total distribution of solutes and nitric acid could be found for the Dy(NO/sub 3/)/sub 3/- Er(NO/sub 3/)/sub 3/- HNO/sub 3/ system. The separation factor between Dy(NO/sub 3/)/sub 3/ and Er(NO/sub 3/)/sub 3/ is shown as a function of the total molality of the aqueous phase. A method is presented for predicting the concentrations of Dy(NO/ sub 3/)/sub 3/, Er(NO/sub 3/)/sub 3/, and HNO/sub 3/ in an organic phase of tributyl phosphate from their concentrations in the aqueous phase at equilibrium, and the results of the method are compared with experimental data.
