Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of separation technology, and in particular to an ion-type liquid-liquid phase separation system and its application in the separation of strontium and yttrium. Background Technology

[0002] Strontium-90 ( 90 Sr is one of the main fission products in high-level radioactive waste, exhibiting significant biotoxicity and environmental migration capabilities. Its decay product, yttrium-90 (Sr), is... 90 Y) is a pure β - The emitter, with a maximum beta ray energy of 2.28 MeV, has extremely important applications in nuclear medicine fields such as cancer radioimmunotherapy and radioembolization therapy. 90 High-purity Sr was obtained by separation. 90 Y (“Cow” technology) is the means to achieve 90 A key step in ensuring a stable supply of Y.

[0003] Currently, common techniques for separating strontium and yttrium include precipitation, extraction chromatography, and solvent extraction. While precipitation is simple, it is cumbersome, has limited yield, and is prone to introducing impurities. Extraction chromatography reduces organic solvent usage by immobilizing the extractant on a solid support, but suffers from high resin preparation costs, poor irradiation stability, decreased column efficiency, and complex elution processes. Solvent extraction is one of the most mature strontium-yttrium separation processes, with typical extractants including di-(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid (HDEHP), crown ethers, and phosphonates. This method relies on the different affinities of metal ions between the organic and aqueous phases to achieve separation, resulting in a high separation coefficient. However, this technology requires the use of large amounts of volatile organic solvents (such as n-dodecane, kerosene, and xylene) as diluents, posing safety risks such as fire and explosion. Furthermore, solvent evaporation and irradiation degradation generate secondary organic waste, increasing the cost of treating radioactive organic waste and adversely affecting the environment and operational safety.

[0015] This application has the following beneficial effects: This application provides an ion-type liquid-liquid phase separation system and its application in the separation of strontium and yttrium, which can achieve the separation of strontium and yttrium efficiently and in an environmentally friendly manner. Detailed Implementation

[0016] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, this application will be described in further detail below. The described embodiments should not be regarded as limitations on this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0017] To reduce solvent usage and improve environmental compatibility, researchers have proposed aqueous two-phase systems based on nonionic surfactants or water-soluble polymers for the separation of metal ions. This system utilizes amphiphilic intermolecular interactions to induce liquid-liquid phase separation in a single aqueous phase, thereby achieving the enrichment and distribution of metal ions or organic ligands. Compared to traditional organic extraction methods, aqueous two-phase systems, using water as the primary medium, offer greater safety and environmental friendliness, mitigating the pollution and safety hazards associated with organic solvents to some extent. Therefore, they are considered a more environmentally friendly option for the separation of radioactive metals.

[0018] Although aqueous two-phase systems represent a theoretical advancement from organic extraction to green separation technology, their phase structure is easily disrupted in complex radioactive systems, leading to decreased separation performance and unstable selectivity. This makes it difficult to meet the requirements for separation efficiency and durability in high-radioactive environments, thus limiting their application. Furthermore, these systems typically use nonionic surfactants (such as polyethylene glycol, Triton-114, and Tween-80) as phase separation building blocks, resulting in weak system interactions and low phase separation driving forces. This leads to a large condensed phase volume, limited enrichment ratio, and unclear phase interfaces.

[0019] Therefore, existing aqueous two-phase extraction systems still struggle to simultaneously achieve high efficiency, selectivity, and environmental safety in some scenarios. Developing a novel separation system capable of spontaneously forming a stable phase separation within a single aqueous phase through strong intermolecular interactions has become a key direction for achieving efficient separation of strontium and yttrium.

[0020] Liquid-liquid phase separation systems constructed with ionic surfactants offer a novel technical approach to solving the aforementioned problems. In this system, surfactant molecules with opposite charges can form stable supramolecular assembly structures through electrostatic attraction, hydrophobic interactions, and dipole interactions, spontaneously forming condensed and diluted phases in the aqueous phase. The condensed phase enriches the surfactant and its coordination environment, selectively loading and enriching specific metal ions or their complexes, achieving a highly efficient and controllable separation process without organic solvents. This method combines the greenness of aqueous two-phase systems with the high efficiency of organic extraction, providing a new pathway for the separation of strontium-yttrium and their radioactive metal ions.

[0021] Specifically, this application has the following technical solution: The first aspect of this application provides an ionic liquid-liquid phase separation system, which includes an anionic surfactant and an organic base; wherein the anionic surfactant and the organic base have an octanol-water partition coefficient (log P) greater than or equal to 1.0.

[0022] In this application, for the first time, the significant selectivity differences of anionic surfactants and organic base supramolecular assemblies for different metal ions were discovered and utilized to achieve different metal ions (especially Y) 3+ and Sr 2+ This system achieves highly efficient separation of yttrium ions and strontium. It can construct two immiscible phases within a single aqueous phase. The coupling effect between yttrium and the organic base, and between yttrium and the anionic surfactant, strengthens the coordination of yttrium ions with the aggregated phase. Strontium, however, has weak ion coordination ability and is therefore less likely to coordinate with the anionic surfactant or form stable ion pairs. Furthermore, by controlling the partitioning tendency of the organic base between the n-octanol and aqueous phases, this application controls the hydrophobicity of the organic base, which helps to regulate the supramolecular interactions between cations and anions in the mixed system, further adjusting the system's ability to separate different metal ions.

[0023] In this application, the octanol-water partition coefficient "Kow", also denoted as "P", is the ratio of the equilibrium molar concentrations of a chemical in n-octanol and water in a dilute solution at a given temperature. This value is typically expressed as the decimal logarithm of the coefficient, denoted as "log Kow", or "log P". The octanol-water partition coefficient is a measure of the hydrophobicity and hydrophilicity of a substance. Nonpolar (hydrophobic) compounds have high log P, while polar (hydrophilic) compounds have low log P, and moderately polar compounds have log P that falls between nonpolar and polar compounds.

[0024] In this application, the octanol-water partition coefficient (log P) can be obtained using conventional testing methods in the art. For example, it can be determined by testing according to ASTM Standard Test Method for Partition Coefficient (N-Octanol / Water) Estimation by Liquid Chromatography, Designation E 1147-92.

[0025] In some embodiments, the organic base includes one or more of dodecyl primary amine, benzylamine, n-octylamine, and diphenylethylenediamine.

[0026] In this application, the structural formula of the organic base is as follows:

[0027] In some embodiments, the anionic surfactant includes one or more of sodium dodecyl sulfate, sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate, sodium dodecyl sulfonate, sodium stearate, and sodium phosphatidyl ester.

[0028] In this application, the structural formula of the anionic surfactant is as follows:

[0029] This application eliminates the volatile organic solvents relied upon in traditional solvent extraction, greatly improving operational safety and reducing the generation of secondary organic waste, making it a greener and safer technology. Furthermore, the anionic surfactants and organic base reagents used are relatively inexpensive, and the separation process requires no complex equipment, only mixing and settling, significantly simplifying the operation and reducing operating costs.

[0030] In some embodiments, the molar ratio of the anionic surfactant to the organic base is 1:(0.5~2). Controlling the molar ratio of the anionic surfactant to the organic base within the above range helps the anionic surfactant and the organic base form stable ion pairs or supramolecular assembly structures, thereby providing a stable driving force for subsequent phase separation. Exemplarily, the molar ratio of the anionic surfactant to the organic base can be 1:0.5, 1:0.6, 1:0.7, 1:0.8, 1:0.9, 1:1.0, 1:1.1, 1:1.2, 1:1.3, 1:1.4, 1:1.5, 1:1.6, 1:1.7, 1:1.8, 1:1.9, 1:2.0, or a value within a range of any two of these. Optionally, the molar ratio of the anionic surfactant to the organic base is 1:(1~2). Optionally, the molar ratio of the anionic surfactant to the organic base is 1:(1.4~2).

[0031] The second aspect of this application provides the application of the aforementioned ionic liquid-liquid phase separation system in the separation of strontium and yttrium, comprising: mixing anionic surfactant, organic base, and a mixed metal salt solution to obtain a mixed solution; wherein the metal ions in the mixed metal salt solution include strontium ions and yttrium ions, and strontium includes... 84 Sr、 86 Sr、 87 Sr、 88 Sr、 89 Sr and 90 One or more of Sr, including yttrium 89 Y、 90 Y and86 One or more of Y.

[0032] In some implementations, strontium includes 90 Sr, yttrium includes 90 Y.

[0033] This application constructs two immiscible phases in a single aqueous phase. The coupling effect of the specific coordination of yttrium with an organic base and the strong electrostatic interaction between yttrium and anionic surfactant enhances the coordination of yttrium ions with the condensed phase aggregates. Strontium, due to its smaller charge and weaker ion coordination ability, is less likely to coordinate with anionic surfactants or form stable ion pairs. Therefore, the supramolecular assembly of anionic surfactants and organic bases is used to coordinate yttrium with the aggregates of the condensed phase. 3+ and Sr 2+ The huge selectivity difference in Y enables Y 3+ and Sr 2+ Highly efficient separation.

[0034] In some embodiments, the mass concentration ratio of strontium ions to yttrium ions in the mixed metal salt solution is (1~7000):1.

[0036] In some embodiments, the mass concentration of yttrium ions in the mixed metal salt solution is 1 mg / L to 100 mg / L. Exemplarily, the mass concentration of yttrium ions can be a value within a range of 1 mg / L, 5 mg / L, 10 mg / L, 15 mg / L, 20 mg / L, 25 mg / L, 30 mg / L, 35 mg / L, 40 mg / L, 45 mg / L, 50 mg / L, 55 mg / L, 60 mg / L, 65 mg / L, 70 mg / L, 75 mg / L, 80 mg / L, 85 mg / L, 90 mg / L, 95 mg / L, 100 mg / L, or any combination thereof.

Optionally, the pH value of the mixed solution is 7 to 9.

[0038] In some embodiments, the original pH of the mixed metal salt solution is below 6. The pH of the mixed solution can be a value between 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, or any combination thereof.

[0039] In some embodiments, the method for separating strontium and yttrium includes: mixing an anionic surfactant, an organic base, a mixed metal salt solution with a pH value below 6, and a pH adjuster at 5°C to 55°C to obtain a mixed solution with a pH value of 6.5 to 9; the mass-to-volume ratio of the mixture of the anionic surfactant and the organic base to the mixed metal salt solution is 0.1 g / mL to 0.5 g / mL; wherein the metal ions in the mixed metal salt solution include strontium ions and yttrium ions, and strontium includes... 90 Sr, yttrium includes 90 Y.

[0041] For example, the mass-to-volume ratio of the mixture of the anionic surfactant and the organic base to the mixed metal salt solution can be 0.10 g / mL, 0.15 g / mL, 0.20 g / mL, 0.25 g / mL, 0.30 g / mL, 0.35 g / mL, 0.40 g / mL, 0.45 g / mL, 0.50 g / mL, or any combination thereof. Optionally, the mass-to-volume ratio of the mixture of the anionic surfactant and the organic base to the mixed metal salt solution is 0.2 g / mL to 0.3 g / mL.

[0042] In some implementations, nitric acid and / or sodium hydroxide can be used to adjust the pH of the mixed solution; a pH of 6.5 to 9 helps to improve the separation of strontium and yttrium.

[0043] In some embodiments, the method for separating strontium and yttrium further includes: shaking or stirring the mixed solution at 5°C to 55°C to ensure uniform mixing of the components in the mixed solution, for a mixing time of 30 min to 120 min.

[0045] In some embodiments, after the mixed solution reaches extraction equilibrium, phase separation is achieved by centrifugation or static settling, wherein the upper layer is a diluted phase containing strontium ions and the lower layer is a condensed phase containing yttrium ions. Centrifugation is performed by centrifuging at 5000 rpm to 10000 rpm for 5 to 10 minutes; static settling is performed by allowing the mixed solution to stand horizontally for at least 2 hours.

[0046] In this application, the concentration of metal ions is measured by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-OES).
