RECENT ADVANCES IN THE BASIC CHEMISTRY OF PLUTONIUM, AMERICIUM AND CURIUM

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4309083
The oxidation-reduction potentials of plutonium in acid solutions were determined enabling the estimation of equilbrium relationships among the aqueous plutoniumn species from electromotive force, spectrophotomet-ric, and kinetic data. Advances in the chemistry of americium and curium included the discovery and isolation of new valence states and characterization of the metals and compounds. The results of studies of the reactions between plutonium species with each other, with oxygen, V(III), and U(IV) are presented, along with a discussion of solid pluse studies of americium and curium.
