Based on the dioctadecyldimethylammonium chloride surfactant, three novel ionic liquids (ILs) involving dio-ctadecyldimethylammonium ([DODMA]~+ cations and N,N-dialkyl-diglycolamide acid (DGA) anions was firstly designed and synthesized for extraction of thorium iOns in nitric acid solution. The integrated extraction and solidification of Th(IV) was developed by formation of self-assembly (SA) solid in two-phase interface. The SA solid was identified by spectroscopic methods including SEM with mapping EDS, XPS, FT-IR and ESI-HRMS. The excellent extraction efficiency was observed for extraction of thorium using [DODMA]+[DGA]'' ionic liquids, more than 99% of Th(IV) were extracted and enriched as SA solid in one-step process. The outstanding selectivity of Th(IV) to Ln(III) and U(VI) was observed, and separation factors were up to 3470 for Th/Eu and more than of 1980 for Th/U, respectively. The proposed strategy not only provides an alternate method for the separation of thorium ions with uranyl ions and lanthanides(III) ions in the nuclear fuel cycle, but also pioneers to develop the self-assembly extraction based on [DODMA]~+ ionic liquids. In view of the similarity of Pu(IV) and Th(IV), the simple integrated strategy may be further expanded for extraction and enrichment of Pu(IV) in nuclear industry.
