The extraction of Am( iii ), Cm( iii ) and Eu( iii ) by 2,9-bis(5,5,8,8-tetramethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1,2,4-benzotriazin-3-yl)-1,10-phenanthroline (CyMe 4 BTPhen) from nitric acid solution was studied using the ionic liquid Aliquat-336 nitrate ([A336][NO 3 ]) as diluent. Results show a high selecti...
