Extraction properties of ${it N,N}$-di(2-ethylhexyl)-2,2-dimethylpropanamide (DEHDMPA), ${it N,N}$-di(2-ethylhexyl)butanamide (DEHBA), and some of their degradation products for the metal elements Zr, Mo, Ru, Rh, and Pd were studied using a single-stage batch method, and the results showed that the degradation products barely extracted these metal elements. Furthermore, separation performance of DEHDMPA and DEHBA for U and Pu in a continuous counter-current process was evaluated using a calculation code, and it was confirmed that the calculated values of U concentration in the U fraction and U and Pu concentrations in the U-Pu fraction were similar to those measured experimentally. These results supported the applicability of DEHDMPA and DEHBA as extractants for separation processes and the validity of the calculation code for estimating the separation performance of the process.
