We have started studying sulphate-complex formation of a transactinide element, seaborgium (Sg). In this study, we report on the extraction behavior of carrier-free radioisotopes Mo and W which are lighter homologs of Sg, from aqueous HSO solution with amine extractant, Aliquat336, dissolved in toluene by a batch method. These radioisotopes were produced in the Zr(,)Mo and Ta(,x)W reactions at the RIKEN K70 AVF cyclotron. Results of the extraction experiments showed that the distribution ratios of Mo and W increase sharply above ~3.0 M HSO. Based on the slope analysis, it was indicated that anionic sulphate-complex of [MO(SO)] (M = Mo, W) are formed in 5 M HSO. These results suggest that the present system is applicable to the extraction of Sg.
