Abstract: A new N-donor extractant, 6,6ˊ-bis(1-(2-ethylhexyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-2,2ˊ-bipyridine (EH-BTzBP), was synthesized and tested for Am(III)/Ln(III) extraction and separation. EH-BTzBP in combination with 2-bromohexanoic acid (as lipophilic anion source) selectively extracts Am(III) from acidic solutions (HNO3≤ 0.1M) with Am(III)/Eu(III) separation factors of about 70. Phase transfer kinetics is rapid, back-extraction of metal ions posed no issues, and there is no evidence of ligand degradation by acid hydrolysis or contact with hydrogen peroxide (which simulates some effects of radiolysis).
