A study has been made of the extraction of samarium(III) from nitrate solu- tions using N,N,N',N'-tetrabutylmalonamide (TBMA) in a series of diluents. The de- pendence of the extraction distribution on the concentrations of aqueous nitric acid, lith- ium nitrate and organic TBMA was investigated. The experimental results showed that the extraction efficiency of TMBA in different diluents for Sm(III) increases in the or- der: chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, benzene, xylene, toluene, cyclohexane, n-hexane, n-octane. The stoichiometry of the extracted species conform to Sm(NO3)3 . 3TBMA in all the employed diluents. The interaction between extractant or extracted species and diluent is discussed and a quantitative expression relating the extraction constant and the parameters of the diluent has been established.
