摘要

This study proposes a rapid and effective extraction system for the separation of Ba2+ from various coexisting ions. Di-tert-butyldicyclohexano-18-crown-6/ dichloromethane (DtBuCH18C6/CH2Cl2) rapidly separated 90% of Ba2+ (1 M nitric acid solution) by a single-stage extraction step. Furthermore, Barium (Ba) often serves as a non-radioactive surrogate for Radium (Ra), but our findings show that Ra2+ chemistry cannot always be predicted using Ba2+. Probably because the ionic radius of Ra2+ is a little bigger than Ba2+, the Ra-DtBuCH18C6 complex retains the coordinated water molecules. Consequently, the (H2O)x-Ra-DtBuCH18C6 complex is poorly transferred (20%) into the organic solvent.
