Understanding the impact of extractant functionalization on metal-binding energetics in
liquid–liquid extraction is essential to guide the development of better separation processes …

Solution nanostructure induced by amphiphile self-association plays an important role in
various chemical and physical processes, including liquid-liquid extraction (LLE). Small …

This chapter examines the experimental situations where insoluble molecules must be
dissolved or dispersed in water without relying on the addition of surfactants. The symmetric …

Exploring mesoscopic physical phenomena has always been a challenge for brute-force all-
atom molecular dynamics simulations. Although recent advances in computing hardware …

Structure at the nanoscale in the organic phase of liquid–liquid extraction systems is often
tied to separation performance. However, the weak interactions that drive extractant …

Based on the theory of critical micelle, a Gemini type amide based ionic liquid system was
developed to effectively extract Zr (IV) and Hf (IV) dispersed in an acidic chloride solution …

Understanding chemical speciation and intermolecular interactions in multicomponent
liquids is essential to understanding their phase and chemical equilibria, which underpin …

The application of N, N, N′, N′-tetraoctyl diglycolamide (TODGA) in solvent extraction
systems for lanthanide (Ln) separations is well understood. In these systems, the formation …

In the solvent extraction of rare earth elements, mechanistic aspects remain unclear
regarding where and how extractant molecules coordinate metal ions and transport them …

In uranium production, liquid–liquid extraction using the AMEX (AMine EXtraction) process
employs tertiary amines solubilized in an aliphatic diluent. Practical constraints as phase …
