Separation of Radioactive Ruthenium from Alkaline Solution: A Solvent Extraction and Detailed Mechanistic Approach

Abstract

Sb. The presence of the chemical species in aqueous as well as organic phase has been identified using UV-vis spectrophotometry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. Density functional theory-based quantum mechanical calculations have been performed in order to unravel the extraction mechanism with the present solvent system.
