Used as a selective extractant in solvent extraction processes for separating and recovering valuable metals such as uranium, thorium, and rare earth elements from ores and nuclear waste. Its high selectivity and efficiency make it suitable in hydrometallurgical applications where precise metal separation is critical. Also employed in nuclear fuel reprocessing due to its ability to form stable complexes with actinides, facilitating their transfer into organic phases while minimizing co-extraction of impurities. Shows good phase separation and low solubility in aqueous media, enhancing recovery and reducing losses in industrial-scale operations. Additionally, it has been developed for use in heavy metal contaminated wastewater treatment systems, efficiently separating toxic metals from water.
