Times Cited Count：7 Percentile：77.01(Chemistry, Analytical)We studied the successive formation of water soluble DGA (diglycolamide) and DOODA (dioxaoctanediamide) for the mutual separation of Ln in this extraction system. TODGA (tetraoctyl-diglycolamide) and DOODA(C8) (tetraoctyl-dioxaoctanediamide) have the opposite trend to extract light and heavy Ln through Ln-patterns. Metal-complexes of two folding Ln ions with water-soluble DOODA and three folding with DGA are found and their observed formation constants are calculated. The suitable separation condition (aqueous phase: 30 mM DOODA(C2) in 1 M nitric acid, organic phase: 0.1 M TODGA in n-dodecane) of multi-stage extraction (10 
10) is conducted. From the present work, it is clear that La, Pr and Nd are mainly present in aqueous phase, instead Sm-Dy exist in the organic phase.

Times Cited Count：7 Percentile：40.34(Chemistry, Analytical)We investigated the chemical behavior of lanthanides (Ln) using diglycolamide extractant with multistage extraction. We obtained the breakthrough curves for light and middle Ln. Our study reveals that the metal extraction limit depends on their 
values and metal concentrations used in the experiments. From the multistage extractions of 15 aqueous phases and 15 organic phases, three curves (extraction curves, back-extraction curves, and separation curves) were obtained by changing the nitric acid concentration. As an example, under a condition of the separation curve experiment (aqueous phase: 0.5 M HNO
, organic phase: 0.1 M TDDGA (
-tetradecyl-diglycolamide) in 
-dodecane), a recovery of more than 99% of Sm in the organic phase with less than 1% Nd can be obtained.

The mutual separation of lanthanide is difficult because the chemical behavior of lanthanides is very analogous. Thus, the task to develop the mutual separation method among lanthanide is important. Here, we examined to separate lanthanides using batch-wise multi-stage extraction with TDDGA. The batch-wise multi-stage extraction can be evaluated based on the plate-theory of chromatography, thus we investigated the basic results of batch-wise multi-stage extractions.

In our group, the mutual separation of lanthanides by solvent extraction method is conducted. We focus on two phases in solvent extraction, the hydrophilic and lipophilic reagents are employed in both phases. Namely, using the condition of TODGA in organic phase and DOODA(C2, dioxaoctane-diamide) in aqueous phase or DOODA(C8) in organic phase and TEDGA in aqueous phase, the distribution ratios of Ln are compared. Using these results, the batch-wise multi stage extractions are performed in order to separate light and heavy Ln.
