Journal of Electrochemistry

The concentrationsof soluble Mn(Ⅲ) species,during the reduction ofelectrolytic MnO_(2) (EMD)in alkaline solution,have been monitored in situ by UV-visible spectroscopy. The concentration of Mn(Ⅲ) ion in solution changes with discharge time.The first electron discharge process of EMD can be described by three different steps: 1) the reduction of Mn~(4+)ions on the surface of EMD particles and the structural defect regions within the EMD,2) the reduction of Mn~(4+)ions in ramsdellite,3)the reduction of Mn~(4+)ions in pyrolusite. During the second electron discharge of EMD, the soluble Mn(Ⅲ) is reduced to Mn(Ⅱ) , then Mn(OH)_(2)and Mn_(3)O_(4)are formed.


Fundamental Chemistry Of U And Pu In The Tbp-Dodecane-Nitric Acid System, Kenneth Czerwinski, Byron Bennett May 2004

Fundamental Chemistry Of U And Pu In The Tbp-Dodecane-Nitric Acid System, Kenneth Czerwinski, Byron Bennett

Separations Campaign (TRP)

The speciation of hexavalent U and tetravalent Pu will be examined in the TBP-dodecane-nitric acid systems. This topic is chosen based on data needs for separation modeling identified by the AFCI. Emphasis will be placed on studying the influence of nitrate and acetohydroxamic acid on U and Pu speciation as well as conditions where a third phase forms in the organic phase. The organic phase will be 30% TBP in dodecane. Equal volumes of aqueous and organic phase will be used. The speciation of the actinides in the aqueous and organic phase will be determined by a number of different …
