The formation of complex pu(VI) compounds in solutions of nitric acid was observed. It was found that Pu(VI) in 11 io 12 N nitric acid appears in a form of plutonyl nitrate and with increased nitric acid the plutonyl trinitrate complex concentration also increases. In hydrous solutions pu(VI) does not complex with nitrate ions. The stability of Pu(VI) nitrate complex compounds exceeds the stability of the corresponding uranyl complexes. The Pu(VI) distribution between aqueous nitric acid solutions and dibutyl ether was studied. Increased nitric acid in the organic diluent increased the concentration of complex plutonyl trinitrate.
