Article Description

The room temperature ionic liquid (RTIL), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate [Cmim][PF] has various applications in the separation of a range of metal ions replacing volatile and toxic traditional organic solvents in liquid-liquid extraction systems. In this study, the RTIL [Cmim][PF] was used to separate no-carrier-added (NCA) Cd from α-particle irradiated Ag target. A natural Ag foil was bombarded by 30 MeV α-particles to produce Cd. After the decay of all co-produced short-lived products, NCA Cd was separated from the bulk Ag using [Cmim][PF ] as extractant from HNO medium. Ammoniumpyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (APDC) was used as a complexing agent. At the optimum condition, 3 M HNO, 0.01 M APDC in presence of [Cmim][PF ], ~99 % bulk Ag was extracted to the IL phase, leaving NCA Cd in the aqueous phase. The amount of Ag became negligibly small after re-extraction in the same condition. The ionic liquid was recovered by washing it with 1 M HCl. © 2013 Akadémiai Kiadó, Budapest, Hungary.
