>Magister Scientiae - MSc / Amperometric sensors for Tenofovir, a model nucleotide/ nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor ARV drug, were studied based on the principle of ion-transfer electrochemistry at the membrane-stabilized oil/ water interface (O||W) in a four-electrode cell set-up. Solutions of the hydrophobic salts tetradodecylammonium tetrakis(4-chlorophenyl) borate (ETH500), ethyl violet tetraphenylborate (EthVTPB), tetrabutylammonium tetraphenylborate (TBATPB), tetraphenylphosphnium tetraphenylborate (TPphTPB) and three ionic liquids (Methyltrioctylammonium bis(trifluoromethyl sulfonyl)imide (IL1), 1-butyl-3- methylimdazolium bis(trifluoromethyl sulfonyl)imide (IL3) and 1-propyl-3- methylimdazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (IL4)) in nitrobenzene (NB), 1,2- dichloroethane (DCE), and 2-nitrophenyloctyl ether (NPOE) were each tested as O-phases. The cyclic voltammograms of the resulting O||W interfaces in aq. Li2SO4 or aq. MgSO4 were compared with respect to noise, potential window, and other parameters. The three ILs were also tested as self-sufficient salts without a solvent medium. In the end, the ETH500/ DCE salt/ solvent pair was found to yield the best behaved polarizable O||W interface in aq. MgSO4. The analytical characteristics of the resulting sensors to tenofovir without (Ag|ETH500/DCE||) and with the dibenzo-18-crown-6 (Ag|ETH5000/DB18C6/DCE|| in the O-phase were studied with respect to the two pairs of peaks in the CV, namely the WO ion transfer peak and the reverse OW peak. Both sensors exhibited operational stability of 90 min. After consideration of reasonable S/N ratio and sample throughput rates, the scan rate of 25 mV/ s was used in subsequent signal interrogation with CV. The final potential windows were 0.95 V wide for Ag|ETH500 (10 mM)/ DCE|| in aq. MgSO4 (50 mM) and 0.70 V wide for Ag|ETH500 (10 mM)/ DB18C6 (50 mM)/ DCE|| in aq. MgSO4 (50 mM). From plots of peak currents versus square of scan rate, tenofovir diffusion coefficients of about 2.48 × 10-11 cm2/ s were estimated, which indicated diffusion through the supporting membrane as the rate limiting process. Based on WO ion transfer peaks, the first one exhibited a detection limit of about 5 M, a linear range of 15 – 100 M, and sensitivity of 7.09 nA M-1 towards tenofovir, whereas for the second one these were respectively 3 M, 6.32 nA M-1, and 9 – 100 M. In this way, a four-electrode amperometric detection of ion transfer process at liquid | liquid interface, both under simple and ionophore-facilitated mode, has been demonstrated as promising for analysis of tenofovir as a representative of the nucleotide/ nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor ARV drugs

Nesse contexto, surge o biodiesel, biocombustível que apresenta as seguintes características: emite menos poluente que o diesel de petróleo, biodegradável, renovável, não tóxico, dentre outras. O biodiesel é produzido através da reação de transesterificação, onde o óleo vegetal ou a gordura animal reage com álcool de cadeia curta na presença de um catalisador. O óleo de girassol é uma oleaginosa com potencial utilização para a produção do biodiesel, visto que pode ser plantada no Nordeste brasileiro no período chuvoso. Após a reação de transesterificação, o produto reacional contém impurezas que precisam ser retiradas e, para isso, devem ser realizadas a lavagem e a purificação do produto reacional. Para realizar a lavagem e a purificação é necessário conhecer o equilíbrio líquido-líquido de misturas formadas por água, glicerina, biodiesel e álcool. E, para isso, pode ser preciso ter posse dos dados termodinâmicos. O objetivo deste trabalho é realizar o estudo termodinâmico sobre o equilíbrio de fases de sistemas ternários (biodiesel de girassol – álcool – glicerina) e pseudoquaternários (biodiesel de girassol – álcool – glicerina – água/ácido diluído). Para isso, foi utilizado o método da minimização da energia de Gibbs, à temperatura e pressão constantes. Para representar as fases formadas em cada sistema, foi empregado o modelo UNIQUAC. Os parâmetros de interação binária entre os compostos foram estimados através do método dos mínimos quadrados. O sistema ternário formado por biodiesel metílico de girassol – metanol – glicerina, foi analisado à 25ºC, 35ºC e 45ºC e foi observado que o efeito da temperatura foi pouco expressivo, havendo uma pequena redução da região de imiscibilidade à 45ºC. Foram estudados os sistemas pseudo-quaternários formados por biodiesel metílico de girassol – metanol – glicerina – água destilada/ácido sulfúrico diluído, o sistema ternário de biodiesel etílico de girassol – etanol – glicerina e também os sistemas pseudo-quaternários formados por biodiesel etílico de girassol – etanol – glicerina – água destilada/ácido sulfúrico diluído. Em todos os sistemas pseudo- quaternários foi observado que a presença de água/ácido diluído: aumenta a região de separação de fases, não havendo alteração expressiva no comportamento da curva ao aumentar a quantidade de água destilada/ácido diluído de 50% para 75% em relação à massa da glicerina; e diminui a solubilidade do biodiesel na fase rica em glicerina+água destilada/ácido diluído. Na modelagem termodinâmica do ELL, os dados experimentais foram comparados com os valores calculados pelo modelo UNIQUAC, onde obteve-se uma boa concordância entre os dados experimentais e os valores calculados, uma vez que o maior desvio apresentado foi de 0,27%. Isso mostra que, no estudo no ELL dos sistemas analisados, podem ser utilizados os parâmetros calculados. Observou-se que é satisfatório o uso do modelo UNIQUAC para tais sistemas. / The search for alternative sources of energy has been increasingly intense. In this context, it appears the biodiesel, biofuel that has the following characteristics: it emits less pollutant than petroleum diesel, biodegradable, renewable, non-toxic, among others. biodiesel is produced through the transesterification reaction, where vegetable oil or animal fat reacts with short chain alcohol in the presence of a catalyst. Sunflower oil is an oleaginous with potential use for the production of biodiesel, since it can be planted in the Brazilian Northeast during the rainy season. After the transesterification reaction, the reaction product contains impurities that need to be removed and, for this, the wash and purification of the reaction product must be carried out. To carry out the washing and the purification it is necessary to know the liquid-liquid equilibrium of mixtures formed by water, glycerine, biodiesel and alcohol. And for that, it may be necessary to have possession of the thermodynamic data. The objective of this work is to perform the thermodynamic study on the phase equilibrium of ternary systems (sunflower biodiesel - alcohol - glycerin) and pseudo - quaternaries (sunflower biodiesel - glycerine - water / diluted acid). The Gibbs energy minimization method was used at constants temperature and pressure. To represent the phases formed in each system, the UNIQUAC model was used. The parameters of binary interaction between the compounds were estimated using the least squares method. The ternary system formed by sunflower methyl biodiesel - methanol - glycerin was analyzed at 25ºC, 35ºC and 45ºC and it was observed that the effect of the temperature was not very expressive, with a small reduction of the region of immiscibility at 45ºC. We studied the pseudo quaternary systems formed by sunflower methyl biodiesel - methanol - glycerol - distilled water / diluted sulfuric acid, the ternary l system of ethyl biodiesel of sunflower - ethanol – glycerin and also the pseudo - quaternary systems formed by sunflower ethyl biodiesel - ethanol - glycerin - distilled water / diluted sulfuric acid. In all pseudo-quaternary systems it was observed that the presence of diluted water / diluted acid: increases the region of phase separation, with no significant change in the behavior of the curve by increasing the amount of distilled water / diluted acid from 50% to 75% relative to the glycerol mass; and decreases the solubility of biodiesel in the rich phase at glycerin + distilled water / dilute acid. In the thermodynamic modeling of the LLE, the experimental data were compared with the values calculated by the UNIQUAC model, where a good agreement was obtained between the experimental data and the calculated values, since the largest deviation was 0.27%. This shows that, in the LLE study of the analyzed systems, the calculated parameters can be used. It was observed that the use of the UNIQUAC model for such systems is satisfactory.

O Br-TAO foi empregado em um procedimento para a pré-concentração de cobalto utilizando a micro-extração dispersiva líquido-líquido e determinação por espectrometria de absorção atômica com chama (FAAS). O fator de enriquecimento e o limite de detecção obtidos foram 16 e 0,9 µg L-1, respectivamente. A exatidão do método foi testada por análise do material de referência certificado NIST 1570a, Folhas de Espinafre. Este procedimento foi aplicado para a determinação de cobalto em águas do Rio das Contas, localizado no município de Jequié-BA. Outro procedimento empregou o reagente Br-TAO em um sistema em linha com injeção seqüencial e extração no ponto-nuvem para pré-concentração e determinação de manganês por FAAS. O procedimento foi baseado na extração no ponto-nuvem de manganês no sistema de injeção seqüencial e retenção em minicoluna, com posterior eluição e detecção. Variáveis químicas e de fluxo que influenciam o sistema foram otimizadas e alguns parâmetros analíticos determinados, como freqüência analítica (48 h-1), fator de enriquecimento (14), índice de consumo (0,20 mL) e limite de detecção (0,5 µg L-1). Os materiais de referência certificados NIST 1568a, Farinha de Arroz e NIST 1573a, Folhas de Tomateiro, foram utilizados para o teste da exatidão do procedimento. O método foi aplicado à determinação de manganês em farinhas de arroz, láctea e de milho.

The reagent was synthesized by diazotization and coupling reactions. Then the solid product was purified by recrystallization with ethanol and characterized. The reagent Br-TAO was employed in a preconcentration procedure for cobalt using microdispersive liquid-liquid extraction and determination by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS). The enrichment factor and the limit of detection were 16 and 0.9 µg L-1, respectively. The accuracy was tested by analysis of certified reference material NIST 1570a, Spinach Leaves. The procedure was applied to the determination of cobalt in water from Rio de Contas, located in Jequié-BA. Another procedure employed the reagent Br-TAO in an on-line system with sequential injection and cloud point extraction for preconcentration and determination of manganese by FAAS. The procedure is based on the cloud point extraction of manganese in the sequential injection system and retention in a minicolumn, with subsequent elution and detection. Chemical and flow variables that affect the system were optimized and some specific analytical and some analytical parameters were determined, such as analytical frequency (48 h-1), enrichment factor (14), rate of consumption (0.20 mL) and the limit of detection (0.5 µg L-1). The certified reference materials NIST 1568a, Rice Flour and NIST 1573a, tomato leaves were used to test the accuracy of the procedure. The method was applied to the determination of manganese in rice flour, milk and corn.

Cette thèse porte sur l’étude expérimentale de l’extraction liquide-liquide au sein d’une colonne de laboratoire reproduisant de manière très simplifiée les appareils utilisés pour retraiter le combustible nucléaire (procédé hydro-métallurgique PUREX). Une technique optique non intrusive, dite de réfractométrie ou diffractométrie arc-en-ciel, a été spécifiquement développée pour caractériser la granulométrie (et donc l’aire interfaciale) et la composition de la phase dispersée. Cette dernière est composée de gouttes millimétriques de mélanges d’alcanes en ascension dans une colonne remplie d’eau au repos. Les spécificités de l’arc-en-ciel produit par ces gouttes à faible indice de réfraction relatif ont été étudiées à l’aide de différents modèles de diffusion asymptotiques de la lumière et la théorie électromagnétique de Lorenz-Mie. Grâce au développement de différentes approches directes et inverses (paramétriques), il a été démontré numériquement et expérimentalement que cette technique optique permettait d’estimer individuellement (ou collectivement) diamètre (moyen) et fraction de mélange de quelques dizaines de milliers de gouttes à quelques pour cents près. Des travaux préliminaires ont été réalisés sur l’extraction, résolue dans le temps de l’acétone, d’un milieu continu aqueux vers une goutte sessile composée initialement de toluène pur. Ils ont montré que l’on pouvait réellement estimer les constantes de transfert (de diffusion et de distribution moléculaire) à partir de l’analyse de l’évolution temporelle des arcs-en-ciel et en utilisant une méthode inverse qui intègre un modèle de diffusion moléculaire à symétrie radiale et un modèle électromagnétique ad hoc. / This thesis deals with the experimental study of liquid-liquid extraction within a laboratory column reproducing in a simple way the apparatuses used in a nuclear fuel reprocessing process (PUREX). A non-intrusive optical technique, called rainbow refractometry or diffractometry, has been specifically developed to characterize the size (and hence the interfacial area) and the composition of the dispersed phase. The latter is first time composed of millimeter droplets of alkanes mixtures free rising in a column filled with water at rest. Specificities of the rainbow produced by these droplets with a low relative refractive index were studied using different asymptotic light scattering models and the Lorenz-Mie electromagnetic theory. Thanks to the development of different direct and reverse (parametric) approaches, it was demonstrated both numerically and experimentally that this optical technique allows estimating individually (or collectively) the diameter (in average) and the mixing fraction of a few tens of thousands of droplets with a few percent of accuracy. Preliminary works have been carried out on the time-resolved extraction of acetone from an aqueous continuous medium to a sessile droplet initially composed of pure toluene. They have revealed that the transfer (diffusion and molecular splitting) constants can be estimated from the analysis of the temporal evolution of the rainbow signals using an inverse method that integrates a molecular diffusion model with a radial symmetry and an electromagnetic light scattering model.

Les accumulateurs nickel-hydrure métallique (NiMH) dominent actuellement le marché du stockage de l’énergie pour les véhicules hybrides. On estime à 1 milliard, le nombre de batteries NiMH produites chaque année. En fin de vie, le taux de recyclage de ces déchets électroniques reste faible, bien que la technologie NiMH contienne des quantités importantes de métaux onéreux et stratégiques. Deux grandes familles d’éléments chimiques coexistent sous forme de composés intermétalliques dans l’électrode négative: les métaux de transitions (TM) (Ni, Co, Mn et Fe) ainsi que les terres rares (REE) (La, Ce, Nd et Pr). Parmi les TM, le cobalt présente une criticité accrue. En effet, les minerais issus de réserves naturelles ne permettront pas de couvrir la demande croissante en cobalt liés au développement des technologies émergentes. Les REE produits à plus de 97 % en Chine sont au cœur des préoccupations de l’Union Européenne qui depuis 2010 pointe du doigt des techniques d’extractions dévastatrices pour l’environnement. C’est dans le but de répondre aux problématiques économiques et environnementales que le projet a été construit en associant l’entreprise de recyclage de batteries Recupyl® au laboratoire académique LEPMI grâce au financement du Labex CEMAM. L’objectif de ce travail est de proposer un procédé avec un faible impact environnemental pour le recyclage des métaux à partir de véritables accumulateurs NiMH. Pour cela, le remplacement de solvants volatiles organiques par des liquides ioniques, plus respectueux des principes de la ‘chimie verte’ sera étudié. En s’appuyant sur des procédés innovants d’extraction liquide-liquide et de récupération des éléments par hydrométallurgie et par électrochimie nous proposons une voie de valorisation des métaux présents dans ces batteries. / Nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries are currently dominating the market of energy storage in hybrid electric vehicles. 1 billion cells are estimated to be produced each year. In their end-of-life, these electronical wastes exhibit low recycling rates, despite the fact that NiMH batteries contain high amounts of valuable and strategic metals. Two main metal families coexist as an intermetallic compound in negative electrodes: transition metals (TM) (Ni, Co, Mn and Fe) and rare earth elements (REE) (La, Ce, Nd and Pr). Among TM, cobalt exhibits the highest criticality rate. Indeed, natural ores will not cover the increasing cobalt demand linked to emerging technologies. REE produced at more than 97 % in China are at the centre of European Union’s preoccupations. To tackle economic and environmental issues, this project, supported by the labex CEMAM is a partnership between the company Recupyl® and the academic laboratory LEPMI. It aims at investigating on low environmental impact routes for the recycling of metals present in real spent NiMH batteries. This requires the replacement of volatile organic compounds by ionic liquids, respecting the principles of ‘green chemistry’. Based on innovative extraction and recovery processes of elements by hydrometallurgy and electrochemistry, we propose a flowsheet for the valorisation of metals from those batteries.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / Com o passar do tempo, a população mundial vem se conscientizando mais sobre problemas ambientais. Isso fez surgir uma demanda por tecnologias novas que possam se encaixar no cenário de sustentabilidade. Instabilidades frequentes no cenário político-econômico global acabam por elevar o preço do barril do petróleo. Assim a indústria química começa a buscar por alternativas que tenham a mesma versatilidade do petróleo. Dentre as opções de combustíveis renováveis, destaca-se o bio-óleo de pirólise. Seu interesse em estudos científicos vem do fato de poder-se utilizar do rejeito de processos como matéria prima, não necessitando competir por espaço com a plantação de alimentos. Sua composição pode ser representada por ácidos e fenóis. Em especial destacamos o ácido acético e fenóis oxigenados como m-cresol, o-cresol, p-cresol e guaiacol por estarem presentes em grandes quantidades. Sua separação das frações menos polares do bio-óleo pode ser realizada por meio de extração com água que é um reagente abundante e de baixo custo. O conhecimento das propriedades desses componentes puros é amplamente disponível na literatura, porém dados de composições das fases corrosivas, como misturas ternárias de água-ácido acético-m-cresol/o-cresol/p-cresol/guaiacol nas temperaturas de (298,15, 310,65 e 323,15) K são escassos. Devido a isso, o uso de modelos termodinâmicos para simulação do comportamento desses sistemas torna-se interessante. Todavia, quando são testadas as capacidades dos modelos clássicos, como o UNIFAC e NRTL, percebe-se que os mesmos não conseguem reproduzir o comportamento da binodal dos componentes corrosivos. Sendo assim, essa dissertação investigou soluções para melhorar a descrição desses sistemas, assim como obteve dados experimentais para tais sistemas de misturas ternárias de água-ácido acético-m-cresol/o-cresol/p-cresol/guaiacol nas temperaturas de (298,15, 310,65 e 323,15) K; desenvolveu-se uma metodologia para estimar parâmetros do modelo NRTL a partir de dados de composição da binodal e verificou-se a possibilidade de utilizar o modelo UNIFAC para prever o comportamento de equilíbrio de fases. Como resultado foram obtidos 314 novos dados experimentais, obtiveram-se parâmetros para o modelo NRTL que conseguem reproduzir com acurácia a forma da binodal com a metodologia proposta e verificou-se a necessidade de aperfeiçoamento no estudo do modelo UNIFAC para otimizar sua utilização na previsão do comportamento dos sistemas estudados / Over time the world population has become increasingly aware of environmental problems. This started a demand for new technologies that are more environmentally friendly. Geopolitical instabilities exert a profound influence over oil prices, making the chemical industry search for alternative substances that can have the same versatility as oil. Among renewable fuels, pyrolysis bio-oil stands out as one of the most studied. Researchers were drawn to it because it can be obtained from process waste, thus not competing in space with food plantations. This biooil composition can be represented by acids and phenols. The acetic acid along with m-Cresol, o-Cresol, p-Cresol and Guaiacol are the main components in terms of amount. These substances can be separated from less polar fractions with water, a cheap and abundant solvent. Although knowledge on pure components is abundant in the literature, the opposite is true as regards data on phase composition of its corrosive components, such as ternary mixtures of water-acetic acid-m-cresol/o-cresol/p-cresol/guaiacol at (298.15, 310.65, and 323.15) K. In this case the use of the classical thermodynamic models which simulate the behavior of such systems is recommended. However, when one tests the accuracy of such models as NRTL and UNIFAC, it becomes clear that they cannot replicate the phase component behavior of the corrosive part. Hence, this thesis researched ways to improve knowledge of the ternary mixtures of water-acetic acid-m-cresol/o-cresol/p-cresol/guaiacol at (298.15, 310.65, and 323.15) K. A new methodology was developed to estimate/set parameters for the NRTL model obtained from binodal data. Also, possibility of use of the UNIFAC model to predict phase equilibrium behavior was verified. As a result, a new data set with 314 ternary system data was generated for the ternary mixtures containing acetic acid-water-m-cresol/o-cresol/p-cresol/guaiacol at (298.15, 310.65, and 323.15) K. Through the methodology proposed by this thesis, new parameters for the NRTL model were estimated, which can accurately replicate the binodal curve . Further studies are needed to optimize the UNIFAC model so it is able to predict phase behavior of the studied components

Le procédé PUREX utilise comme molécule extractante le tri-butyl-phosphate (TBP) pour assurer l’extraction et la purification de l’uranium et du plutonium des combustibles nucléaires usés. Bien que le retour d’expérience industriel soit très positif, des améliorations de ce procédé sont possibles notamment pour le futur traitement de combustibles plus riches en plutonium. Les extractants de la famille des N,N-dialkylamides (monoamides) ont montré par le passé une potentialité avérée pour remplacer le TBP : ils permettent de co-extraire l’uranium et le plutonium puis de dés-extraire sélectivement le plutonium par une diminution de l’acidité du milieu, supprimant ainsi les opérations de réduction du plutonium consommatrices en réactif potentiellement toxique (hydrazine). Le travail de recherche mené au cours de cette thèse vise à comprendre et modéliser l’extraction de certains produits de fission et actinides mineurs : césium, europium, américium, ruthénium et technétium, éléments qui ne doivent pas contaminer les matières recyclées. Les systèmes extractants choisis pour l’étude sont constitués des monoamides N,N-di (éthyl-2 hexyl) butanamide (DEHBA), N,N-di (éthyl-2 hexyl) isobutanamide (DEHiBA), du mélange de ces deux monoamides, de N-méthyl-N-octyl-(2-ethyl)hexanamide (MOEHA) et de TBP, extractant actuellement utilisé à l’usine AREVA de La Hague, dilués dans le tétrapropylène hydrogéné (TPH). Pour y parvenir, une démarche multi-échelle a été mise en place avec l’acquisition de données de distribution et de données thermodynamiques. Ces données ont servi de support pour élaborer des modèles permettant de simuler le comportement des différents éléments dans les cycles d’extraction actuel ou futur. En parallèle et lorsque les conditions chimiques des systèmes le permettaient, des études de spéciation des phases organiques ont été entreprises, afin d’obtenir des informations sur la stœchiométrie des complexes formés et sur les mécanismes mis en jeu au cours de l’extraction.De ces travaux peuvent se dégager un certain nombre de conclusions :- l’extraction des nitrates de césium, d’europium et d’américium par les monoamides est très faible et a pu être correctement modélisée,- l’extraction du technétium par les monoamides semble répondre au même mécanisme que dans le cas du TBP : le technétium est principalement co-extrait en phase organique en formant des complexes mixtes avec l’uranium. En effet, un anion pertechnétate se substitue à un anion nitrate dans les complexes formés entre l’extractant et le nitrate d’uranyle, selon un mode de coordination monodenté, conduisant à une extraction exacerbée du technétium. La modélisation de l’extraction du technétium par les monoamides a pu être améliorée en reconsidérant l’estimation des écarts à l’idéalité en phase aqueuse avec une nouvelle variation du coefficient d’activité de l’acide pertechnétique en solution binaire dans l’eau,- avec les monoamides comme avec le TBP, le ruthénium est faiblement extrait en phase organique mais cette fraction extraite, aussi faible soit elle, constitue une contamination résiduelle du solvant. Les données acquises, grâce à la mise au point d’un protocole de préparation de solutions simulées, sont représentatives du comportement du ruthénium dans les conditions d’extraction des procédés. Les modèles développés permettent de très bien reproduire le comportement du ruthénium dans les opérations d’extraction de procédés mis en œuvre à l’échelle pilote, sur des solutions de dissolution réelles,- une approche nouvelle pour le calcul des coefficients d’activité en phase organique a été développée. Elle explicite les écarts à l’idéalité liés à l’association en phase organique via les équilibres de complexation, mais aussi, et pour la première fois, les effets liés à la répulsion entre espèces en les considérant comme des sphères dures. / The PUREX process is a solvent extraction method dedicated to the reprocessing of irradiated nuclear fuel in order to selectively extract uranium(VI) and plutonium(IV) from fission products and minor actinides. The tri-n-butylphosphate (TBP) is used as the extractant in the organic phase. Within the frame of the development of Generation IV reactors, new liquid-liquid extraction processes are under development for the reprocessing of spent nuclear fuels. The N,N-dialkylamides (monoamides) already showed their potentiality as promising alternative extractant to TBP for nuclear fuel reprocessing: they are able to extract U(VI) and Pu(IV) selectively by adjusting the nitric acid concentration without using Pu(IV) reducing agents. This study aims at understanding and modeling the extraction of some fission products and minor actinides: cesium, europium, americium, ruthenium and technetium, which may occur as impurities in the organic phase. In the present study, the extraction properties of N,N-di (ethyl-2 hexyl) butanamide (DEHBA), N,N-di (ethyl-2 hexyl) isobutanamide (DEHiBA), as well as a mixture of these two monoamides, N-methyl-N-octyl-(2-ethyl)hexanamide (MOEHA) and TBP, the extractant currently used in the PUREX process at the La Hague plant, diluted in TPH, were studied. For that purpose, a multi-scale approach has been used to describe the extraction mechanisms combining two different descriptions. Distribution and thermodynamic data were first determined from batch experiments. Based on these data, thermodynamic models were developed and are able to predict the behaviour of the different elements in current or future processes. Dedicated methods were also performed to obtain information about the stoichiometry of the extracted species and about the mechanisms involved during the extraction step.The main conclusions that can be deduced from this study are:- even if the extraction of cesium, europium and americium nitrates with monoamides is very low, models have been developed and fit the experimental data with good agreement,- the same mechanism may be involved in the extraction of technetium with TBP or monoamides: technetium is preferentially co-extracted in organic phase as mixed uranium-technetium species. Indeed, one TcO4- anion replaces one NO3- ion in a monodentate coordination mode in the uranium-monoamide complex. The developed thermodynamic models, that have been improved by taking into account a new variation of the pertechnetic acid activity coefficient in binary solution, fit very well the experimental data,- with monoamides as with TBP, ruthenium is poorly extracted but remains troublesome in the spent fuel reprocessing industry because of its retention in the irradiated solvent. Distribution data have first been determined from batch experiments thanks to the development of a new methodology for simulated ruthenium spent fuel dissolution solutions preparation. The developed thermodynamic models fit very well the batch experimental data. Thus, they was then used to simulate ruthenium behaviour in counter-current hot tests performed in mixer-settlers- a new approach for the activity coefficient calculation in organic phase has been developed. The MSA theory (Mean Spherical Approximation) was chosen for this purpose to explicitly describe both association and repulsive forces.Finally, this work that includes a macroscopic study (distribution and thermodynamic data acquisition and modeling) and molecular investigations (ESI-MS, FT-IR and X-ray absorption analysis supported by theoretical calculations) provides a new insight in the description of solvent extraction mechanism.

L’extraction réductrice liquide-liquide est une des voies pyrochimiques les plusprometteuses pour assurer le retraitement des déchets nucléaires. Cette techniqueconsiste à extraire à haute température des éléments initialement en solution dansun sel fondu sur une nappe métallique. Afin d’améliorer les transferts de masse,l’utilisation de forces électromagnétiques permettant de brasser sans contact matérielle coeur des bains et l’interface elle-même a été envisagée.Les cinétiques d’extraction de trois lanthanides (cérium, néodyme et samarium)ont été étudiées expérimentalement. Une étude préalable nous a conduit à travaillersur le couple fluorure de lithium/antimoine et à utiliser le lithium comme agentréducteur. Les investigations réalisées ont démontré que le mécanisme contrôlant lacinétique rapide des transferts est la diffusion des espèces réactives à l’interface.La simulation numérique du réacteur expérimental faisant intervenir de multiplescouplages a également été réalisée. Elle a permis de déterminer les écoulementsturbulents dans chacune des phases. Les transferts de masse simulés ont ensuiteété comparés aux mesures expérimentales. / Reductive extraction is one of the most promising pyroprocess for processing spentnuclear fuel. The extraction of elements from a molten salt to a liquid metal occurs athigh temperature. At the interface between the two immiscible flows mass transfersare ensured via a redox reaction. To increase these transfers, electromagnetic forcescan be used to stir the bulk of both phases and of the interface itself without materialcontact.The kinetic of extraction of three lanthanides (cerium, neodymium and samarium)has been experimentally studied. We worked on lithium fluoride/antimony system,the reducing agent being lithium. Theses experiments show that mass transfers arefast for all studied lanthanides and are controlled by diffusion of reactive species atthe interface.The numerical simulation of experimental reactor which involves many stronglycoupled phenomenon has been performed. Turbulent flows have been computed inboth phases. Mass transfers have then been deduced and compared to experimentalresults.

Despite the consumption of this fruit to be mainly its pulp, melon seeds are an important source of lipids considered an industrial residue it has been discharge product. The use of oilseeds in order to produce biodiesel establishes an important raw material and the increase of its production promotes the national development of the agriculture. In this background, the aim of this work has been to use oil from seeds of yellow melon to produce biodiesel and to accomplish a study of the phase equilibrium of the system evolving biodiesel, methanol and glycerin. The biodiesel was obtained by oil transesterification through methylic route with molar ratio 1:9.7 (oil:alcohol) and with a mass of NaOH of 0.5% from the oil mass; the reaction time was 73 minutes at 55 ?C. A yield of 84.94% in biodiesel was achieved. The equilibria data present a well-characterized behavior with a great region of two phases. The tie lines indicate that methanol has a best solubility in the phase that is rich in glycerin. Consistency of the experimental data was made based on Othmer-Tobias and Hand correlations which values above 0.99 were found to correlation coefficients, this fact confers a good thermodynamic consistency to the experimental data. NRTL and UNIQUAC models were employed to predict liquid-liquid equilibrium of this system. It was observed a better concordance of the results when NRTL was applied (standard deviation 1.25%) although the UNIQUAC model has presented a quite satisfactory result either (standard deviation 2.70%). The NRTL and UNIQUAC models were also used to evaluate the effect of temperature in the range of 328 K to 358 K, in which a little change in solubility with respect to the data obtained at 298 K was observed, thus being considered negligible the effect of temperature / O Rio Grande do Norte, estado da regi?o Nordeste do Brasil, corresponde ao maior produtor e exportador do mel?o amarelo, tamb?m conhecido como mel?o espanhol. Apesar do consumo dessa fruta ser basicamente a polpa, a semente do mel?o ? uma importante fonte de lip?dios, sendo considerada res?duo industrial tem sido produto de descarte. O uso de sementes oleaginosas como fonte para a produ??o de biodiesel constitui-se numa importante mat?ria-prima e o incentivo da sua produ??o contribui para o desenvolvimento agr?rio da na??o. Nesse sentido, o objetivo desse trabalho foi utilizar ?leo de semente de mel?o amarelo para produzir biodiesel e realizar um estudo de equil?brio de fases do sistema envolvendo biodiesel, metanol e glicerina. O biodiesel foi obtido pela transesterifica??o do ?leo atrav?s da rota met?lica na raz?o molar 1:9,7 (?leo:?lcool), usando uma massa de NaOH de 0,5% da massa de ?leo; o tempo de rea??o foi de 73 minutos a 328 K. Obteve-se uma taxa de convers?o de 84,94 % em biodiesel. Os dados de equil?brio apresentaram um comportamento bem caracterizado, com uma grande regi?o de duas fases. As linhas de amarra??o indicaram o metanol com uma solubilidade maior na fase rica em glicerina. A consist?ncia dos dados experimentais foi feita com base nas correla??es de Othmer-Tobias e Hand em que foram obtidos valores acima de 0,99 para os ?ndices de correla??o, conferindo uma boa consist?ncia termodin?mica aos dados experimentais. Os modelos NRTL e UNIQUAC foram utilizados para predizer o equil?brio l?quido-l?quido desse sistema, sendo observado uma melhor concord?ncia nos resultados quando NRTL foi empregado (desvio m?dio de 1,25%), embora o modelo UNIQUAC tamb?m tenha apresentado resultado bastante satisfat?rio (desvio m?dio de 2,70%). Os modelos NRTL e UNIQUAC ainda foram utilizados para avaliar o efeito da temperatura no intervalo de 328 K e 358 K, em que foi observada pouca varia??o na solubilidade em rela??o aos dados obtidos a 298 K, sendo assim considerado desprez?vel o efeito da temperatura
