Efficiency of dihydroxamic and trihydroxamic siderochelates to extract uranium and plutonium from contaminated soils
2021
International audience; Actinide-based mineral phases occurring in contaminated soils can be solubilized by organic chelators excreted by plants, such as citrate. Herein, the efficiency of citrate towards U and Pu extraction is compared to that of siderophores, whose primary function is the acquisition of iron(III) as an essential nutrient and growth factor for many soil microorganisms. To that end, we selected desferrioxamine B (DFB) as an emblematic bacterial trishydroxamic siderophore and a synthetic analog, abbreviated (LCy,Pr)H2, of the tetradentate rhodotorulic acid (RA) produced by yeasts. Firstly, the uranyl speciation with both ligands was assessed in the pH range 2–11 by potentiom…
Thermodynamic studies of iron(III) complex of some new dihydroxamic acids model of rhodotorulic acid
2018
Abstract The objective of this research is to elucidate the coordination chemistry and the structure of complexes formed with siderochelates organic ligands and the physico-chemical studies of iron(III) complexation. Three dihydroxamic acids synthesized ((LCyEt)2−, (LCyPr)2− and (LO)2−) mimicking a fungal siderophore, rhodotorulic acid. They were evaluated with iron(III) chelation by potentiometric and spectrophotometric titrations in 0.1 M KNO3. These measurements revealed the formation of dileptic and trileptic complexes in excess ligand conditions. The chemical model includes five species of [Fem(L)lHh](3m−2l+h)+ with general formula: [Fe(L)]+, [Fe(L)(OH)], [Fe(L)(OH)2]−, [Fe(L)2H] and […
