Actinides hydrothermal hydrolysis

Hydrothermal hydrolysis of metal ions is useful in producing crystalline phases which contain metals in a state of partial hydrolysis, i.e., a state intermediate between that of the hydrated metal ion and that of the hydrous hydroxide. Such reactions have been used to produce numerous crystalline phases of actinides (1-4), Group IV metal ions (5-14) and lanthanides (15-21). [Pg.54]

Previous studies of the hydrothermal hydrolysis of tetravalent Th, U and Np (1-4) have shown a remarkable similarity in the behavior of these elements. In each case compounds of stoichiometry M(0H)2S0i, represent the major product. In order to extend our knowledge of the hydrolytic behavior of the actinides and to elucidate similarities and differences among this group of elements, we have investigated the behavior of tetravalent plutonium under similar conditions. The relationships between the major product of the hydrothermal hydrolysis of Pu(IV), Pu2(OH)2(SO.,)3 (H20) t, (I)> and other tetravalent actinide, lanthanide and Group IVB hydroxysulfates are the subject of this re-...
