Abstract

The paraffin wax was used as an organic solvent for 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-benzoyl-5-pyrazolone (PMBP) and trioctylphousphine oxide (TOPO) in the extraction of rare earth ions (La3+, Pr3+, Eu3+, Yb3+ and Ho3+) at 70°C. The composition of the extracted specices were given as RE (PMBP)3(TOPO)2 by means of slope analysis. The variation of the synergistic extraction equilibrium constant (Ksex) was studied at 55°C-70°C . The thermodynamic data obtained showed that the synergistic extraction of rare earth ions by PMBP and TOPO in molten paraffin wax is exothermic and the extracted complexes were formed by TOPO bonding to the outer sphere hydration.
