A study of the solvent extraction process of Nd(III) from chloride solutions has been carried out using an ionic liquid (AliOle) prepared from Aliquat 336 (Methyl-tri(octyl/decyl)ammonium chloride) and Oleic Acid. The IL was chosen among other homemade ionic liquids and commercial extractants due to its high Nd(III) extraction ability and good phase separation. Increasing AliOle concentration improves the extraction of Nd(III) as expected. The pH of the aqueous phase strongly influences the extraction process. The appropriate equilibrium pH region has been established in the range 5–6.5. The effect of chloride concentration in the aqueous phase has been investigated. High concentrations of Cl− anion contribute to increasing the extraction yield by promoting neodymium(III) speciation in the aqueous phase.Two extraction models are proposed from experimental data. Chloride concentration in the aqueous phase determines the Nd(III) extraction mechanism. The models consider extraction of Nd3 + species when chloride concentration in the solution is low and NdCl2 + species when chloride concentration is high. Competitive extraction between HCl and the metal ions is also included in the models. They are able to reproduce feasibly the experimental Nd(III) extraction extension.
