These molecules were examined as extractants for extraction-separation of La（Ⅲ）, Eu（Ⅲ） and Er（Ⅲ）, as representative ions of light, middle and heavy rare earths, from aqueous chloride solutions. The analysis of the extraction equilibria revealed that the extracted species of lanthanum and europium ions by both of the extractants had a 1：3 metal to ligand ratio It was suggested that erbium ions were extracted into the organic phase via the formation ofEr（LIor Ⅱ）2Cl complexes. The effect of the organic diluents on the extraction-separation efficiency of the studied rare earths by HLI and HLⅡ was investigated by comparing the results obtained in dichloromethane and carbon tetrachloride. Regardless to the diluent used, the order of selectivity presented by the investigated extractants was Er（Ⅲ）〉Eu（Ⅲ）〉La（Ⅲ）. It is noteworthy that, a significant enhancement in separation of the studied rare earths by the extractants was achieved in their competitive extraction experiments with respect to that obtained in single component extraction experiments. Applicability of the extractants for the removal of rare earth ions from spent Ni-MH batteries was tested by removal ofLa（Ⅲ）, Eu（Ⅲ） and Er（Ⅲ） ions from simulated leach solution of such batteries.展开更多

The results of orthogonal experiments indicate that LIX 984N is highly selective and very efficient in the extraction of Cu（Ⅱ）, and the analysis of variance indicates that the sequence of parameters according to their influence on the separation efficiency is phase ratio 〉 LIX 984N concentration 〉 pH value 〉 extraction time. The optimal condition for copper extraction is obtained as 25% of LIX 984N concentration, 7 rain of extraction time, 3：2 of phase ratio O/A, and pH = 1.7. The separation of Zn（Ⅱ） and Cd（Ⅱ） was performed after the copper extraction from the raffinate. Comparative analysis of the separation with di-2-ethylhexyl phosphoric acid （D2EHPA）, D2EHPA-tributyl- phosophate （TBP） synergistic extracting system, and 2-ethylhexyl phosphonic acid mono 2-ethylhexyl ester （HEHEHP） was made at pH = 2.0. It is demonstrated that the extraction efficiency with D2EHPA is improved after being saponified by sodium hydroxide, and D2EHPA-TBP synergistic extracting, as well as HEHEHP, has a superior selectivity to Zn（Ⅱ） over Cd（Ⅱ）.展开更多

It was shown that only when the ratio of flowrate of central component B leaving aqueous outlet to that leaving organic outlet took a certain optimal value, the AB/BC separation could have Smin as well as Wmin, and this optimal ratio was decided by the separation factors between the three components but independent of feed composition. Smin was only relative to the separation factor of A/C pair but regardless of the separation factors of other pairs as well as feed composition, whereas Wmin was determined by the separation factors between the components together with feed composition. Meanwhile it was also found that the organic stream out of feed stage was same composition as the initial organic feed when the separation system was given by the two minimum amounts and its steady state was achieved. Finally the results above were used to design a LuYb/YbTm separation case and the stage-wise compositions of each component in both the organic and the aqueous phase at steady state were given by computer simulation.展开更多

The influence of pH and temperature on absorbing heavy metal cations by static adsorption was investigated. The batch tests on adsorption equilibrium, kinetics and elution efficiency were carried out to evaluate the performance of CL-P204. Column operations for extraction and separation of Fe（III） by CL-P2O4 were performed for further optimization of process parameters and feasibility evaluation. The reaction mechanism of Fe（III） and CL-P2O4 was analyzed through saturation capability, slope analysis and infrared spectroscopy （IR）. The results show that the separation of Fe（III） from heavy metal wastewater using CL- P2O4 can be achieved through process of adsorption and desorption at a flow rate of 1.53 ml·min^-1·cm^-2, pH 0.8 and temperature of 25℃. The experimental data of Fe（III） adsorption by CL-P2O4 have a satisfactory fit with Langmuir adsorption equation and Freundlich adsorption isotherms. The probable molecular formula of extracted complex is Fe[R2（R2H）], and the adsorption reaction equation is concluded as following： Fe3＋ ＋ 4RH 〈=〉Kex Fe[R2（R2H）] ＋ 3H＋ （Kex, extraction equilibrium constant）. This study will supply the fundamentals for treatment of heavy metal wastewater.展开更多

Six separation conditions of the dissociation extraction-the kind and the dosage ofextractant and organic solvent, the concentration of the extractant and separation temperature-wereinvestigated. Different levels of each factor were chosen to form an orthogonal test of six factorsand five levels. The results show that the volume ratio of 3-picoline and 4-picoline in organicphase is the highest when 24 mL picolines are separated at 0 t by 2. 0 mol/L p-toluenesulfonic andn-heptane whose dosages are 40 mL and 48 mL, respectively. The effect of the separation isconsiderably improved with repetition test. This process of dissociation extraction has commendablepotential for industrial exploitation.展开更多

A novel solvent extraction process for extraction and separation of copper from other base metal ions using a bifunctional ionic liquid (IL) (trioctylmethylammonium/2,4,4-trimethylpentyl phosphinate, [A336/Cy272]) in ...A novel solvent extraction process for extraction and separation of copper from other base metal ions using a bifunctional ionic liquid (IL) (trioctylmethylammonium/2,4,4-trimethylpentyl phosphinate, [A336/Cy272]) in kerosene was reported. This IL was found to extract copper more efficiently than the individual extractants Aliquat 336 or Cyanex 272. Formation of an octahedral copper-IL complex was characterized by UV-Visible spectra and metal ligand interaction was confirmed by FTIR spectra. The loading capacity of 0.1 mol/L [A336/Cy272] was found to be 1.71 g/L. Stripping studies reported that 0.298 g/L copper ions were efficiently stripped using 0.1 mol/L sulfuric acid from 0.05 mol/L loaded IL. The selectivity of copper against nickel, cadmium and iron was investigated from their equimolar binary mixtures using 0.05 mol/L [A336/Cy272] in kerosene. The highest separation factorβCu/Cd=8.41 was obtained at pH 3.56. Copper can be effectively separated from nickel over the pH range studied. The IL extracts preferentially iron over copper and the highest separation factorβFe/Cuwas 3246 at pH 2.4. The extraction rate of metal ions from a synthetic solution containing copper with other metal impurities was in the order of Fe>Zn>Cu>Cd>Co>Ni.展开更多

The effects of stirring speed, interfacial area, pH, HLac concentration, extractant concentration, concentrations of metal ions and temperature on the extraction rate were examined. Results suggested that the extraction regime is diffusion-controlled. The reaction which occurred at the interface was found to be the rate-determining step. The extraction rates of both metal ions are found to be independent of pH. The extraction rates of La(Ⅲ) and Ni(Ⅱ) are first-order dependent with respect to lactic acid and metal ions (La(Ⅲ) and Ni(Ⅱ)) concentrations. The extraction rate of La(Ⅲ) is first-order dependent on DEHPA concentration and for Ni(Ⅱ), it varies to the power of 1.5. The separation of La(Ⅲ) and Ni(Ⅱ) from nitrate solution is possible at low interfacial area and low stirring speed.展开更多

文摘With the legislative development,the organic and inorganic composition separation has become the primary requirement for sewer sediment disposal,however the relevant technology has been rarely reported and the driving mechanism was still unclear.In this study,direct disintegration of biopolymers and indirect broken of connection point were investigated on the hydrolysis and component separation.Three typical sewer sediment treatment approaches,i.e.,alkaline,thermal and cation exchange treatments were proposed,which represented the hydrolysis-driving forces of chemical hydrolysis,physical hydrolysis and innovative cation bridging break-age.The results showed that the organic and inorganic separation rates of sewer sediment driven by alkaline,thermal and cation exchange treatments reached 21.26%,23.80%,and 19.56%-48.0%,respectively,compared to 4.43%in control.The secondary structure of proteins was disrupted,transitioning from𝛼α-helix to𝛽β-turn and random coil.Meanwhile,much biopolymers were released from solid to the liquid phase.From thermody-namic perspective,sewer sediment deposition was controlled by short-range interfacial interactions described by extended Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek theory.Additionally,the separation of organic and inorganic components was positively correlated with the thermodynamic parameters(Corr=0.87),highlighted the robust-ness of various driving forces.And the flocculation energy barriers were 2.40(alkaline),1.60 times(thermal),and 4.02–4.97 times(cation exchange)compared to control group.The findings revealed the contrition differ-ence of direct disintegration of gelatinous biopolymers and indirect breakage of composition connection sites in sediment composition separation,filling the critical gaps in understanding the specific mechanisms of sediment biopolymer disintegration and intermolecular connection breakage.
文摘Since Google introduced the concept of Knowledge Graphs(KGs)in 2012,their construction technologies have evolved into a comprehensive methodological framework encompassing knowledge acquisition,extraction,representation,modeling,fusion,computation,and storage.Within this framework,knowledge extraction,as the core component,directly determines KG quality.In military domains,traditional manual curation models face efficiency constraints due to data fragmentation,complex knowledge architectures,and confidentiality protocols.Meanwhile,crowdsourced ontology construction approaches from general domains prove non-transferable,while human-crafted ontologies struggle with generalization deficiencies.To address these challenges,this study proposes an OntologyAware LLM Methodology for Military Domain Knowledge Extraction(LLM-KE).This approach leverages the deep semantic comprehension capabilities of Large Language Models(LLMs)to simulate human experts’cognitive processes in crowdsourced ontology construction,enabling automated extraction of military textual knowledge.It concurrently enhances knowledge processing efficiency and improves KG completeness.Empirical analysis demonstrates that this method effectively resolves scalability and dynamic adaptation challenges in military KG construction,establishing a novel technological pathway for advancing military intelligence development.

文摘Two-dimensional(2D)materials show great potential as novel membrane materials due to their atomic thickness and periodic pore structure.Currently,free-standing membranes based on 2D materials open up new avenues for ultra-fast and highly selective separation.With the absence of porous substrates,free-standing membranes offer shortened transport paths for efficient mass transfer.The interfacial defects between the substrate and selective layer are eliminated to alleviate the internal membrane fouling,enabling the intact structure for precise separation.Hence,this review aims to outline the superiority of 2D material-based free-standing membranes for selective separation applications.Free-standing 2D material membranes composed of the most representative graphenebased materials,MXene,covalent organic framework(COF),metal organic framework(MOF),and hydrogen-bonded organic framework(HOF)are summarized with the discussion on the influence of substrate on their structural properties.The separation performance enhancement strategies in regard to the 2D material,membrane structure,and mechanical properties are examined.Finally,we propose several critical challenges and perspectives in terms of pore size control,mechanical strength improvement,understanding the underlying mass transfer mechanism,issues related to membrane fabrication optimization,scale production,and separation application versatility.This review will provide researchers with practical guidelines for advancing free-standing 2D material membranes for future selective separation applications.
文摘AIM:To investigate the long-term outcomes in acute primary angle closure(APAC)patients treated with lens extraction(LE)surgery and to identify risk factors for glaucomatous optic neuropathy(GON).METHODS:In this longitudinal observational study,detailed medical histories of APAC patients and comprehensive ophthalmic examinations at final followup were collected.Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify predictors of blindness.Univariate and multivariate linear regression analyses were conducted to determine risk factors associated with visual outcomes.RESULTS:This study included 39 affected eyes of 31 subjects(26 females)with an average age of 74.1±8.0y.At 6.7±4.2y after APAC attack,2(5.7%)eyes had bestcorrected visual acuity(VA)worse than 3/60.Advanced glaucomatous visual field loss was observed in 15(39.5%)affected eyes and 5(25.0%)fellow eyes.Nine affected eyes(23.7%)had GON,and 11(28.9%)were blind.Six(15.4%)affected eyes and 2(9.1%)fellow eyes had suspicious progression.A significantly higher blindness rate in factory workers compared to office workers.Logistic regression identified that worse VA at attack(OR 10.568,95%CI 1.288-86.695;P=0.028)and worse early postoperative VA(OR 13.214,95%CI 1.157-150.881;P=0.038)were risk factors for blindness.Multivariate regression showed that longer duration of elevated intraocular pressure(P=0.004)and worse early postoperative VA(P=0.009)were associated with worse visual outcomes.CONCLUSION:Despite LE surgery,some APAC patients experience continued visual function deterioration.Lifelong monitoring is necessary.Target pressure and progression rates should be re-evaluated during follow-up.
文摘N,N-dibutyldiglycol amic acid （HL1） and N,N-dioctyldiglycol nmic acid （HLu） were synthesized and characterized by conventional spectroscopic methods. These molecules were examined as extractants for extraction-separation of La（Ⅲ）, Eu（Ⅲ） and Er（Ⅲ）, as representative ions of light, middle and heavy rare earths, from aqueous chloride solutions. The analysis of the extraction equilibria revealed that the extracted species of lanthanum and europium ions by both of the extractants had a 1：3 metal to ligand ratio It was suggested that erbium ions were extracted into the organic phase via the formation ofEr（LIor Ⅱ）2Cl complexes. The effect of the organic diluents on the extraction-separation efficiency of the studied rare earths by HLI and HLⅡ was investigated by comparing the results obtained in dichloromethane and carbon tetrachloride. Regardless to the diluent used, the order of selectivity presented by the investigated extractants was Er（Ⅲ）〉Eu（Ⅲ）〉La（Ⅲ）. It is noteworthy that, a significant enhancement in separation of the studied rare earths by the extractants was achieved in their competitive extraction experiments with respect to that obtained in single component extraction experiments. Applicability of the extractants for the removal of rare earth ions from spent Ni-MH batteries was tested by removal ofLa（Ⅲ）, Eu（Ⅲ） and Er（Ⅲ） ions from simulated leach solution of such batteries.
文摘An experimental investigation was presented on the separation of Cu（Ⅱ）, Zn（Ⅱ）, and Cd（Ⅱ） from a rich sulfate leachate of zinc slag by solvent extraction. The results of orthogonal experiments indicate that LIX 984N is highly selective and very efficient in the extraction of Cu（Ⅱ）, and the analysis of variance indicates that the sequence of parameters according to their influence on the separation efficiency is phase ratio 〉 LIX 984N concentration 〉 pH value 〉 extraction time. The optimal condition for copper extraction is obtained as 25% of LIX 984N concentration, 7 rain of extraction time, 3：2 of phase ratio O/A, and pH = 1.7. The separation of Zn（Ⅱ） and Cd（Ⅱ） was performed after the copper extraction from the raffinate. Comparative analysis of the separation with di-2-ethylhexyl phosphoric acid （D2EHPA）, D2EHPA-tributyl- phosophate （TBP） synergistic extracting system, and 2-ethylhexyl phosphonic acid mono 2-ethylhexyl ester （HEHEHP） was made at pH = 2.0. It is demonstrated that the extraction efficiency with D2EHPA is improved after being saponified by sodium hydroxide, and D2EHPA-TBP synergistic extracting, as well as HEHEHP, has a superior selectivity to Zn（Ⅱ） over Cd（Ⅱ）.

文摘Enlarging the steric hindrance to the molecular structures of extractants is a common way to improve their selectivity.To improve the separation factor of thorium(Ⅳ)and cerium(Ⅳ),cyclic groups having large steric hindrance such as phenyl,cyclohexyl,and benzyl were introduced into theα-aminophosphonate extractant molecules.Bis(2-ethylhexyl)((phenylamino)methyl)phosphonate(PAMP),bis(2-ethylhexyl)((cyclohexylamino)methyl)phosphonate(CAMP),and bis(2-ethylhexyl)((benzylamine)methyl)phosphate(BAMP)were synthesized and applied in the separation and recovery of thorium(Ⅳ)and cerium(Ⅳ)from sulfuric acid solution.The separation ability between cerium(Ⅳ)and thorium(Ⅳ)descends in the order of CAMP>BAMP≈Cextrant230>DEHAMP>>PAMP,which is consistent with the decreasing order of steric hindrance.Nearly non-extraction of both cerium(Ⅳ)and thorium(Ⅳ)and the lowest separation ability for PAMP will be due to the conjugation of the lone pair of the amino N atom and benzene ring in PAMP.Furthermore,the extraction of REs(Ⅲ)by CAMP is lower than that of thorium(Ⅳ).Thermodynamic parameters(ΔG^(0),ΔH^(0),ΔS^(0))and extraction equilibrium constants were determined.An extraction process was developed to separate and retrieve thorium(Ⅳ)and cerium(Ⅳ)from a bastnaesite leaching solution.The final product purity of CeO2and ThO2is 99%and 98.4%,respectively,and the yields are 90.2%and 97.6%,respectively.
文摘The extraction of the trivalent middle rare earths from chloride media by kerosene solutions of 2-ethylhexylphosphonic acid mono-2-ethylhexyl ester as an extractant was studied.

文摘The equilibrium and kinetics of methyl isobutyl ketone(MIBK) extraction resin for adsorption and separation of zirconium and hafnium were studied under the different conditions of acidity,initial total concentrations of zirconium and hafnium and temperature.The equilibrium data of both zirconium and hafnium are found to follow the Freundlich adsorption isotherm,and the Freundlich isotherm constants(KF) are 3.53 and 0.64 mg/g,respectively.The equilibrium data of zirconium also fit the Langmuir adsorption isotherm,and the saturation adsorption capacity(Qmax) and the Langmuir isotherm constant(KL)are 75.93 mg/g and-0.012 7 L/g,respectively.The obtained kinetic data of both zirconium and hafnium are found to fit the HO pseudo-second-order kinetic model,and the rate constants of pseudo-second-order equation(k2) are-0.019 and 0.41 g/(mg·min),respectively.Column tests show that the MIBK extraction resin could be used as efficient adsorbent material for separating hafnium from zirconium.

文摘For an AB/BC countercurrent extraction separation using organic feed, the conditions to have minimum amount of ex- tracting solvent （Smin） and minimum amount of scrubbing agent solution （Wmin） were discussed, and the formulae of both Sroin and Wmin were deduced. It was shown that only when the ratio of flowrate of central component B leaving aqueous outlet to that leaving organic outlet took a certain optimal value, the AB/BC separation could have Smin as well as Wmin, and this optimal ratio was decided by the separation factors between the three components but independent of feed composition. Smin was only relative to the separation factor of A/C pair but regardless of the separation factors of other pairs as well as feed composition, whereas Wmin was determined by the separation factors between the components together with feed composition. Meanwhile it was also found that the organic stream out of feed stage was same composition as the initial organic feed when the separation system was given by the two minimum amounts and its steady state was achieved. Finally the results above were used to design a LuYb/YbTm separation case and the stage-wise compositions of each component in both the organic and the aqueous phase at steady state were given by computer simulation.

文摘A novel process for separation of red （Y2O3： Eu^3＋）, blue （Sr, Ca, Ba）10（PO4）6Cl2： Eu^2＋ and green （LaPO4： Tb^3＋, Ce^3＋） fine tricolor phosphor powders was established. First, the green phosphor was extracted and separated from three phosphor mixtures in heptane/DMF（N, N-Dimethylformamide） system using stearylamine or laurylamine （DDA） as the cationic surfactant. Then, after being treated with 99.5% ethanol, the blue and red phosphors could be separated in Heptane/DMF system in presence of 1-octanesulfonic acid sodium salt as the anionic surfactant. Satisfactory separation results have been achieved through two steps extractions with their artificial mixtures. The grades and recovery of separated products reached respectively as follows： red product was 95.3% and 90.9%, blue product was 90.0% and 95.2%, and green product was 92.2% and 91.8%.

文摘The extraction and separation of Fe（III） from heavy metal wastewater generated in zinc smelting process were studied using solvent impregnated resin containing CL- P2O4. The influence of pH and temperature on absorbing heavy metal cations by static adsorption was investigated. The batch tests on adsorption equilibrium, kinetics and elution efficiency were carried out to evaluate the performance of CL-P204. Column operations for extraction and separation of Fe（III） by CL-P2O4 were performed for further optimization of process parameters and feasibility evaluation. The reaction mechanism of Fe（III） and CL-P2O4 was analyzed through saturation capability, slope analysis and infrared spectroscopy （IR）. The results show that the separation of Fe（III） from heavy metal wastewater using CL- P2O4 can be achieved through process of adsorption and desorption at a flow rate of 1.53 ml·min^-1·cm^-2, pH 0.8 and temperature of 25℃. The experimental data of Fe（III） adsorption by CL-P2O4 have a satisfactory fit with Langmuir adsorption equation and Freundlich adsorption isotherms. The probable molecular formula of extracted complex is Fe[R2（R2H）], and the adsorption reaction equation is concluded as following： Fe3＋ ＋ 4RH 〈=〉Kex Fe[R2（R2H）] ＋ 3H＋ （Kex, extraction equilibrium constant）. This study will supply the fundamentals for treatment of heavy metal wastewater.
文摘The separation of the by-product (The volume fraction of 3-picoline is 68.472 2% and 4-picoline 26. 517 6% .) in the synthesis of pyridine by dissociation extraction wasstudied. Six separation conditions of the dissociation extraction-the kind and the dosage ofextractant and organic solvent, the concentration of the extractant and separation temperature-wereinvestigated. Different levels of each factor were chosen to form an orthogonal test of six factorsand five levels. The results show that the volume ratio of 3-picoline and 4-picoline in organicphase is the highest when 24 mL picolines are separated at 0 t by 2. 0 mol/L p-toluenesulfonic andn-heptane whose dosages are 40 mL and 48 mL, respectively. The effect of the separation isconsiderably improved with repetition test. This process of dissociation extraction has commendablepotential for industrial exploitation.

文摘A novel solvent extraction process for extraction and separation of copper from other base metal ions using a bifunctional ionic liquid (IL) (trioctylmethylammonium/2,4,4-trimethylpentyl phosphinate, [A336/Cy272]) in kerosene was reported. This IL was found to extract copper more efficiently than the individual extractants Aliquat 336 or Cyanex 272. Formation of an octahedral copper-IL complex was characterized by UV-Visible spectra and metal ligand interaction was confirmed by FTIR spectra. The loading capacity of 0.1 mol/L [A336/Cy272] was found to be 1.71 g/L. Stripping studies reported that 0.298 g/L copper ions were efficiently stripped using 0.1 mol/L sulfuric acid from 0.05 mol/L loaded IL. The selectivity of copper against nickel, cadmium and iron was investigated from their equimolar binary mixtures using 0.05 mol/L [A336/Cy272] in kerosene. The highest separation factorβCu/Cd=8.41 was obtained at pH 3.56. Copper can be effectively separated from nickel over the pH range studied. The IL extracts preferentially iron over copper and the highest separation factorβFe/Cuwas 3246 at pH 2.4. The extraction rate of metal ions from a synthetic solution containing copper with other metal impurities was in the order of Fe>Zn>Cu>Cd>Co>Ni.

文摘The kinetics of extractive separation of La(Ⅲ) and Ni(Ⅱ) from nitrate medium in the presence of lactic acid (HLac) using di-2-ethylhexyl phosphoric acid (DEHPA) diluted in petrofin was investigated using a cell with constant interfacial area and continuous stirring. The effects of stirring speed, interfacial area, pH, HLac concentration, extractant concentration, concentrations of metal ions and temperature on the extraction rate were examined. Results suggested that the extraction regime is diffusion-controlled. The reaction which occurred at the interface was found to be the rate-determining step. The extraction rates of both metal ions are found to be independent of pH. The extraction rates of La(Ⅲ) and Ni(Ⅱ) are first-order dependent with respect to lactic acid and metal ions (La(Ⅲ) and Ni(Ⅱ)) concentrations. The extraction rate of La(Ⅲ) is first-order dependent on DEHPA concentration and for Ni(Ⅱ), it varies to the power of 1.5. The separation of La(Ⅲ) and Ni(Ⅱ) from nitrate solution is possible at low interfacial area and low stirring speed.
文摘Solvent extraction is the most important method for rare earth extraction and separation.Currently,di(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid(HDEHP)and 2-ethylhexyl phosphonic acid mono-2-ethylhexyl ester(HEH/EHP)are widely used in industrial production,but there are still obvious deficiencies that require further research to resolve.In this paper,the unsaponification extraction of light rare earth ions in a hydrochloric acid medium by di(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid-di(1-methyl-heptyl)methyl phosphonate(HDEHPP350)system was studied.The results show that the addition of P350 reduces the extraction capacity of HDEHP,and also greatly reduces the concentration of acidity required for the back-extraction.It still has a good separation factor for light rare earths without saponification,and the extractant is not easy to emulsify.With an aqueous phase of pH=2.85,and HDEHP mole fraction XHDEHP=0.9(compared with O/A=2),the separation effect of light rare earth is the best,resulting in the separation coefficientβCe/La=3.39,βPr/Ce=1.67 andβNd/Pr=1.45,respectively.The loaded light rare earth ions extracted by HDEHP-P350 can be easily stripped when 2 mol/L HCl is used as the stripping agent.Finally,the extraction mechanism is discussed using a slope method,and the final structure of the extracted complex is determined to be RECl[(DEHP)_(2)]_(2)P350_((o)),based on a combination of infrared spectra and 1 H NMR and 31P NMR analyses.
