Quantum chemical modeling of some processes, occurring upon extraction of rare and trace elements by organophosphorus acids, was performed. The initial state of a metal cation in the aqueous phase and of the extractant in a non-polar solvent is considered. A study of the basic channels of interaction of the activated forms of organophosphorus acids with the extracted metal cation was carried out.
