Behavior of americium in aqueous carbonate systems [electronic resource]
The solubilities of crystalline Am(OH)₃ and AmOHCO₃ were measured at 25°C in aqueous solutions of 0.1 M NaClO₄ by determination of the solution concentrations of Am. Prior to use in the measurements, the solid materials were characterized by their x-ray powder diffraction patterns. The solubility pr...

| Summary: | The solubilities of crystalline Am(OH)₃ and AmOHCO₃ were measured at 25°C in aqueous solutions of 0.1 M NaClO₄ by determination of the solution concentrations of Am. Prior to use in the measurements, the solid materials were characterized by their x-ray powder diffraction patterns. The solubility product quotients were calculated from the experimental data. The hydrolysis quotients of Am/sup 3 +/ were also estimated from the hydroxide solubility data. Using the thermodynamic data derived from these experiments and the recently reported formation constants for the Am/sup 3 +/ carbonate complexes, the solid phases and concentrations of solution species of americium in several aqueous carbonate systems were calculated using the computer code MINEQL. 20 references, 1 figure, 1 table. |
