Title: Spectroscopic Characterization of Aqua [fac-Tc(CO)₃]⁺ Complexes at High Ionic Strength

Abstract

Understanding fundamental Tc chemistry is important to both the remediation of nuclear waste and the reprocessing of nuclear fuel; however, current knowledge of the electronic structure and spectral signatures of low-valent Tc compounds significantly lags behind the remainder of the d-block elements. In particular, identification and treatment of Tc speciation in legacy nuclear waste is challenging due to the lack of reference data especially for Tc compounds in the less common oxidation states (I-VI). In an effort to establish a spectroscopic library corresponding to the relevant conditions of extremely high ionic strength typical for the legacy nuclear waste, compounds with the general formula of [fac-Tc(CO)3(OH2)3-n(OH)n]1-n (where n = 0-3) were examined by a range of spectroscopic techniques including 99Tc/13C NMR, IR, XPS, and XAS. In the series of monomeric aqua species, stepwise hydrolysis results in the increase of the Tc metal center electron density and corresponding progressive decrease of the Tc-C bond distances, Tc electron binding energies, and carbonyl stretching frequencies in the order [fac-Tc(CO)3(OH2)3]+ > [fac-Tc(CO)3(OH2)2(OH)] > [fac-Tc(CO)3(OH2)(OH)2]-. These results correlate with established trends of the 99Tc upfield chemical shift and carbonyl 13C downfield chemical shift. The lone exception is [fac-Tc(CO)3(OH)]4 which exhibits a comparatively low electron density atmore »« less

Identification and Quantification of Technetium Species in Hanford Waste Tank AN-102

Journal Article Chatterjee, Sayandev ; Holfeltz, Vanessa E. ; Hall, Gabriel B. ; ... - Analytical Chemistry

Technetium-99 (Tc) generated from the fission of 235U and 239Pu in high yields is one of the most difficult contaminants to be addressed at the U.S. Department of Energy Hanford Site. In strongly alkaline solutions typifying Hanford tank waste, Tc exists as pertechnetate (TcO4-) (oxidation state VII) as well as in reduced forms (oxidation state < VII) collectively known as non-pertechnetate species. Designing strategies for effective Tc management, including separation and immobilization, necessitates understanding the molecular structure of the non- pertechnetate species and their identification in the actual tank waste samples, which would facilitate development of new treatment technologies effectivemore »« less

Characterization of Tc-99 Speciation and Chemical Composition of 241-AN-102 Tank Waste Supernatant - 19201

Conference Levitskaia, Tatiana ; Chatterjee, Syandev ; Hall, Gabriel ; ...

Technetium (Tc) in its isotopic form {sup 99}Tc is generated in high yields from the fission of {sup 235}U and {sup 239}Pu. A significant inventory of {sup 99}Tc remains at the U.S. Department of Energy's Hanford Site, and it is one of the most difficult contaminants to address. In the strongly alkaline solutions that are typical of Hanford tank waste, Tc exists as both pertechnetate (TcO{sub 4}{sup -} in oxidation state VII) and in reduced forms (oxidation state

Kinetics of Co-Mingled ⁹⁹Tc and Cr Removal during Mineral Transformation of Ferrous Hydroxide

Journal Article Saslow, Sarah A. ; Pearce, Carolyn I. ; Bowden, Mark E. ; ... - ACS Earth and Space Chemistry

In this work, four simulated waste streams relevant to the vitrification of Hanford nuclear waste were studied to evaluate the removal kinetics of technetium-99 (Tc) and co-mingled Cr(VI) during treatment with solid ferrous hydroxide (Fe(OH)₂(s)). Simulants treated with Fe(OH)₂(s) were reacted for 24 h and sub-sampled periodically to monitor Tc and Cr removal. Solution sample analysis during the reaction was coupled with solid phase characterization, for example, X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), to establish influence of the solid phase product on Tc and Cr removal rates. Based on these results, the majority of Tc and Cr removalmore »« less

Synthesis and Characterization of 5- and 6- Coordinated Alkali Pertechnetates

Journal Article Weaver, Jamie ; Soderquist, Chuck ; Gassman, Paul ; ... - MRS Advances

The local chemistry of technetium-99 (⁹⁹Tc) in oxide glasses is important for understanding the incorporation and long-term release of Tc from nuclear waste glasses, both those for legacy defense wastes and fuel reprocessing wastes. Tc preferably forms Tc(VII), Tc(IV), or Tc(0) in glass, depending on the level of reduction of the melt. Tc(VII) in oxide glasses is normally assumed to be isolated pertechnetate TcO₄ - anions surrounded by alkali, but can occasionally precipitate as alkali pertechnetate salts such as KTcO₄ and NaTcO₄ when Tc concentration is high. In these cases, Tc(VII) is 4-coordinated by oxygen. A reinvestigation of the chemistrymore »« less
