The extraction behavior of U(VI), Pu(IV), and Np(IV) from nitric acid medium has been studied using branched chain di(2-ethylhexyl)isobutyramide (D2EHiBA) dissolved in different room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) [C(n)mim][NTf2] (where n = 4, 6, or 8). Uranium extraction (D-U) increased gradually with aqueous phase acidity for the three RTILs used in this study suggesting solvation mechanism. There was a reversal in the extraction behavior of Pu(IV) and Np(IV) from nitric acid medium using D2EHiBA dissolved in RTILs as solvents as compared to the behavior reported in the molecular diluent, n-dodecane, which shows negligible extraction of these metal ions. The extraction of Pu(IV) increased with aqueous phase acidity in different RTILs in the order: [C(8)mim][NTf2] > [C(6)mim][NTf2] > [C(4)mim][NTf2]. The distribution ratio values of these metal ions followed the order: D-Pu(IV) >= D-Np(IV) > D-U(VI) using D2EHiBA as extractant suggesting that RTILs can modify the extraction behavior of extractants.
