; ; ;
The authors have studied the kinetics of electrochemical reduction of berkelium(IV) in aqueous solutions of mineral acids and sodium and potassium carbonates. The authors have shown that in solutions of mineral acids the rate law for electrochemical reduction has the form (dC/sub Bk(IV)//dt) = k' x C/sub Bk(IV)/, and the contribution of side reactions to the process of electrochemical reduction of berkelium(IV) ions is insignificant. In solutions of potassium and sodium carbonates, an appreciable contribution comes form the reaction of autooxidation of berkelium(III). The authors have determined the values of the effective rate constants for electrochemical reduction of berkelium(IV) in the studied solutions.
