Summary
Liquid-liquid extraction is used for one-atom-at-a-time separations of transactinide elements from heavy-ion reaction product mixtures. It is suitable for this purpose because it is fast, provided that a chemical system with negligible kinetics is used, and it can be used for continuous separations. It is, however, not quite easy to determine the uncertainties of the measured distribution coefficients or complex formation constants. In this paper methods for such estimates will be discussed.
