Resumo

CHON amides like N, N′-Di hexyl octanamide (DHOA) and N, N′-Di octyl hexanamide (DOHA) have been identified as the alternate extractants to TBP for nuclear solvent extraction. Critical properties of these amidic solvents are needed for the estimation of various physical properties. Currently, there is little information in the literature about critical properties for these solvents. For these two extractants, critical properties and boiling point were estimated using group contribution method. The predicted boiling point was verified using the experimentally measured flash point data. Vapor pressures of these amides were correlated with ‘Wagner vapor pressure equation’. Keywords: Amides; (DHOA, DOHA), vapor pressure; solvent extraction Cite this Article Balasubramonian S, Kumar S, Sivakumar D et al.
