Electrochemical, Spectroscopic, and Computational Investigations on Redox Reactions of Selenium Species on Galena Surfaces

Journal Article Cook, Peter ; Kim, YoungJae ; Yuan, Ke ; ... - Minerals

Despite previous studies investigating selenium (Se) redox reactions in the presence of semiconducting minerals, Se redox reactions mediated by galena (PbS) are poorly understood. In this study, the redox chemistry of Se on galena is investigated over a range of environmentally relevant Eh and pH conditions (+0.3 to −0.6 V vs. standard hydrogen electrode, SHE; pH 4.6) using a combination of electrochemical, spectroscopic, and computational approaches. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurements reveal one anodic/cathodic peak pair at a midpoint potential of +30 mV (vs. SHE) that represents reduction and oxidation between HSeO3− and H2Se/HSe−. Two peak pairs with midpoint potentials ofmore »« less

A first principles study of energetics and electronic structural responses of uranium-based coordination polymers to Np incorporation

Journal Article Saha, Saumitra ; Becker, Udo - Radiochimica Acta

Abstract Recently developed coordination polymers (CPs) and metal organic frameworks (MOFs) may find applications in areas such as catalysis, hydrogen storage, and heavy metal immobilization. Research on the potential application of actinide-based CPs (An-CP/MOFs) is not as advanced as transition metal-based MOFs. In order to modify their structures necessary for optimizing thermodynamic and electronic properties, here, we described how a specific topology of a particular actinide-based CP or MOF responds to the incorporation of other actinides considering their diverse coordination chemistry associated with the multiple valence states and charge-balancing mechanisms. In this study, we apply a recently developed DFT-based methodmore »« less

SEMIANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT ON CHEMISTRY FOR THE PERIOD, JANUARY 1961-JULY 1961

Technical Report None

A procedure is presented for the determination of both Mo and Sn in a wide variety of samples with 8-quinolinol (oxine). The Mo complex is extracted with chloroform from a sulfate solution of the sample at pH 0.85 and determined spectrophotometrically at 385 m mu . The Sn complex is then similarly extracted and determined after the addition of chloride to the sample solution. A procedure is also given in which B is separated quantitatively from various B minerals by pyrohydrolysis. The distillate is passed through a cation-exchange resin column to remove interfering Sr, Ru, and other cations, after whichmore »« less
Inorganic Ba-Sn Nanocomposite Materials for Sulfate Sequestration from Complex Aqueous Solutions

Journal Article Johnson, Isaac ; Chatterjee, Sayandev ; Hall, Gabriel B. ; ... - Environmental Science Nano

Selective sequestration of sulfate (SO42-) in the form of barite (BaSO4) from alkaline solutions of high ionic strength containing carbonate at high concentrations resembling legacy radioactive waste generated during plutonium cold war era production is problematic due to the preferential formation of BaCO3. Incorporation of sulfate into the insoluble and thermally stable BaSO4 phase can potentially benefit radioactive waste processing in reducing operational challenges and suppressing volatilization of other waste components such as technetium-99. To enhance selectivity of SO42- sequestration, a series of Ba(II)-Sn(IV) materials was prepared using simple hydrothermal synthesis from different Sn(II) and Sn(IV) precursors. Structural characterization indicatedmore »« less

The basis for reevaluating the reactivity of pyrite surfaces: spin states and crystal field d-orbital splitting energies of bulk, terrace, edge, and corner Fe( ii ) ions

Journal Article Arumugam, Krishnamoorthy ; Renock, Devon ; Becker, Udo - Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Pyrite, one of the most important minerals to catalyze redox reactions in nature and a bulk low-spin Fe mineral, needs to provide high-spin Fe on surfaces to moderate spin-forbidden transitions.
