Abstract
Extraction and carrier mediated transport of thorium (IV) ions through bulk liquid membrane containing di-2-ethylhexyl phosphoric acid (DEHPA) in kerosene as metal ion carrier. The feed comprised of thorium (IV) ions solutions containing various concentrations of hydrochloric acid, while sulfuric acid solutions of different concentrations are used as a stripping agent. Various parameters about thorium (IV) ion extraction and transport were investigated: the feed solution acidity, initial metal ions aqueous solution concentration, carrier concentration and stripping agent concentration. More than 85% thorium (IV) is recovered in 960 min using 0.2 M DEHPA/kerosene as carrier and 1.5 M H2SO4 as stripping agent from the 0.0001 M HCl solution containing 50 mg L−1 thorium (IV) as feed. Assuming a consecutive, irreversible extraction and back-extraction (stripping) reactions a simple kinetic model was proposed for estimating the reaction rate constant or reaction rate coefficient under the investigated experimental conditions. The activation energy values of extraction and back-extraction reactions were calculated to be 29.94 kJ mol−1 and 20.55 kJ mol−1, respectively, which indicates that the extraction process was controlled by the mixed regime (both kinetic and diffusion), and the back-extraction process was mainly controlled by diffusion process.

Abstract
Three octyl-extended bis-triamide extractants (L1-L3) were designed and synthesized for the selective solvent extraction of Th(IV) over U(VI) in a kerosene-HNO3 system. L1 and L2 exhibited good extraction property and selectivity toward Th(IV) over U(VI) and reached extraction equilibrium within 10 min. In a wide range of a HNO3 concentration from 0.1 to 3.0 M, the separation factor of Th(IV) over U(VI) (SFTh/U) of L1 and L2 ranged from 12.1 ± 1.6 to 123.0 ± 20.2 and 15.2 ± 2.4 to 88.1 ± 14.9, respectively. Slope analysis indicated that Th(IV) was extracted as different species under different HNO3 concentrations, in which the slopes were 2.08 ± 0.20, 1.61 ± 0.03, and 1.54 ± 0.03 for L1 and 2.37 ± 0.22, 2.07 ± 0.17, and 1.76 ± 0.18 for L2 under 0.1, 1.0, and 3.0 M HNO3, respectively. A continuous variation method (Job plot) illustrated a 1.5:1 ligand/thorium (L/Th) ratio in a methanol phase, indicating that L1/L2 and Th(IV) could form mixed 1:1 and 2:1 L/Th extracted complexes. Extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that the extracted complexes of L1 and L2 with Th during the extraction process at 0.1 M HNO3 were [2L1·Th·3(NO3)]+ and [2L2·Th·3(NO3)]+.

Abstract
It is an important task to develop the technologies for the extraction of thorium from strong HNO3 media with high efficiency. In this work, solvothermal polymerization of trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate (TRIM) and vinylphosphonic acid (VPA) has been used to synthesize a novel polymer material P (TRIM-VPA) bearing a phosphonic acid ligand for thorium entrapment in strong HNO3 media. Under the current experiment condition, the polymer adsorbents showed a record-breaking maximum adsorption capacity for thorium (403.2 mg g-1) with an excellent selectivity for thorium over Gd(III), Nd(III), Ce(III), Sr(III), Sm(III), and La(III) in 4 mol L-1 HNO3 media at 298 K. The content of P═O ligands existing on P (TRIM-VPA) has an obvious influence on the adsorption capacities for thorium. Increasing the content of P═O ligands would result in higher adsorption capacity of thorium. The isothermal data fitted well the Langmuir model, and the sorption kinetics fitted the pseudo-second-order model. The adsorption behavior was not only spontaneous but also endothermic in reality. Both XPS and FTIR studies revealed that the adsorption interaction for thorium extraction was acquired only via the coordination of P═O groups anchored on P (TRIM-VPA) with thorium. Moreover, P (TRIM-VPA) still had high adsorption capacity after five sorption-desorption cycles in 4 M HNO3 media. DFT calculation suggested that a 1:2 ratio of Th(IV) with the P═O group on the same graft chain validated the experimental findings. Thus, the solvothermal polymerization method might be a promising way for the synthesis of the adsorbents for the highly efficient extraction of thorium from strong HNO3 media.

Abstract
Low-cost biosorbents (ginkgo leaf, osmanthus leaf, banyan leaf, magnolia leaf, holly leaf, walnut shell, and grapefruit peel) were evaluated in the simultaneous removal of La3+, Ce3+, Pr3+, Nd3+, Sm3+, Eu3+, Gd3+, Yb3+, Lu3+, UO22+, Th4+, Y3+, Co2+, Zn2+, Ni2+, and Sr2+ from aqueous solutions. In single metal systems, all adsorbents exhibited good to excellent adsorption capacities toward lanthanides and actinides. In a simulated multicomponent mixed solution study, higher selectivity and efficiency were observed for Th4+ over other metal cations, with ginkgo leaves providing the highest adsorptivity (81.2%) among the seven biosorbents. Through optimization studies, the selectivity of Th4+ biosorption on ginkgo leaf was found to be highly pH-dependent, with optimum Th4+ removal observed at pH 4. Th4+ adsorption was found to proceed rapidly with an equilibrium time of 120 min and conform to pseudo-second-order kinetics. The Langmuir isotherm model best described Th4+ biosorption, with a maximum monolayer adsorption capacity of 103.8 mg g-1. Thermodynamic calculations indicated that Th4+ biosorption was spontaneous and endothermic. Furthermore, the physical and chemical properties of the adsorbent were determined by scanning electron microscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller, X-ray powder diffraction, and Fourier transform infrared analysis. The biosorption of Th from a real sample (monazite mineral) was studied and an efficiency of 90.4% was achieved from nitric acid at pH 4 using ginkgo leaves.
