For determining natural levels of (236)U with its environmental abundance of 10(-16)% rather large sample volumes (approximately 30L) are necessary, therefore the conventional radiochemical uranium analysis (pre-concentration and column chromatography) is very time consuming. To speed up the procedure hydrophobic ionic liquids (ILs) were evaluated as a potential extraction agent for uranium from aqueous solutions. High selectivity and efficiency for uranium compared to calcium and magnesium in natural water was achieved with tricaprylmethylammonium thiosalicylate, [A336][TS]. Uranium was stripped successfully from the investigated ILs with 2M HNO(3).
由于要测定环境丰度为10⁻¹⁶%的(236)U的天然含量,需要相当大的样品体积(约30L),因此传统的放射化学铀分析(预浓缩和柱色谱法)非常耗时。为了加快分析过程,对疏水性离子液体(ILs)作为从水溶液中萃取铀的潜在萃取剂进行了评估。使用硫代水杨酸三辛基甲基铵盐([A336][TS]),在天然水中实现了对铀相对于钙和镁的高选择性和高效率萃取。用2M HNO₃成功地从所研究的离子液体中反萃出铀。
