Abstract

The interaction of Eu3+ and tributylphosphate in the montmorillonite clay SAZ1 has been investigated by NMR spectroscopy. The 13C-NMR spectrum of TBP sorbed onto SAZ1 partially exchanged with Eu3+ shows two sets of four peaks differing by 2–3ppm. Longitudinal relaxation times for 13C-TBP sorbed to SAZ1 and Eu3+-SAZ1 (as D2O slurries) are .9s and .4s, respectively. The T1's determined by 13C-CPMAS on the solid samples are .24s and .28s, respectively. Linewidths of the CPMAS spectra of 13C-TBP sorbed to SAZ1 and Eu3+-SAZ1 are 204 Hz and 305 Hz.
