The synergistic solvent extraction of trivalent lanthanides such as Ce(III), Tb(III) and Lu(III) has been studied with a mixture of hexafluoroacetylacetone (HHFA) acting as an acidic chelating agent and triphenylphosphine oxide (TPPO) as a neutral ligand in benzene from aqueous solution of pH 2.5 having ionic strength 0.01 mol dm-3 (K+/H+, Cl-)...
Keywords: Extraction, Ce(III), Tb(III), Lu(III), Hexafluoroacetylacetone
