Abstract

Phase diagram of the ternary liquid system [Nd(NO3)3(TBP)3]-[UO2(NO3)2(TBP)2]-tetradecane at 288.15–345.15 K is studied. There are homogeneous and two-phase regions in the diagram. One of the phases (I) is enriched with [Nd(NO3)3(TBP)3] and [UO2(NO3)2(TBP)2], and the second phase (II), with tetradecane. The two-phase region decreases with increasing temperature. The upper critical temperature of solution (mixing) of the binary and ternary systems is T cr = 344.85±0.5 K. The critical compositions of the ternary liquid system depend on the temperature. The two-phase systems demonstrate preferential concentration of [UO2(NO3)2(TBP)2] in phase I, despite the fact that the binary system [UO2(NO3)2(TBP)2]-tetradecane is homogeneous over the entire temperature range studied.
