  • Method for separating actinides and lanthanides by liquid-liquid extraction using calixarenes
    Patent number: 6312653
    Abstract: The invention involves a process for separating actinides and lanthanides by liquid-liquid extraction by means of calixarenes. These calixarenes have the formula: with R1 and R2 being alkyl groups or o-nitrophenoxy alkyl groups and R3 and R4 being aryl groups, and they are used in an organic liquid phase containing an organic diluent. The diluent and the calixarene concentration of the organic phase are chosen so as to ensure an enrichment of the organic phase with the actinide(s) and/or lanthanide(s) to be separated from an aqueous acid or saline solution.
