title: High-Performance Alkyl Diamide Amine and Water-soluble Diamide Ligand for Separating of Am(III) from Cm(III).
abstract: Alkyl diamide amine (ADAAM), a new high-performance reagent with a simple structure, was examined for the mutual separation of Am(III) and Cm(III). The combination of ADAAM and N,N,N',N'-tetraethyldiglycolamide (TEDGA) as a masking agent shows selectivity for Am(III) over Cm(III) in highly acidic media with separation factors of up to 41.
