Some regularities of gas-chemical reduction of plutonium (6) to plutonium (4) by nitrogen oxides in nitric acid solutions
AbstractAbstract
[en] A study was made on the dependence of the rate of Pu6+ macroconcentration reduction to Pu4+ (2-40 g/l) when bubbling mixture of gaseous nitrogen oxides (oxide and dioxide) on nitric acid concentration (3-8 mol/l, initial Pu6+ content (20-95 %) total plutonium concentration in processable solution temperature (50-80 deg C), the rate of gaseous nitrogen oxides and composition of the given gaseous mixture, as well as the presence of uranium (6) and stable isotopes of some fission products in processable solution. Empirical kinetic equation for the rate of studied process enabling to calculate the apparent rate constants of gas-chemical reduction of Pu6+ to Pu4+ using experimental data is suggested. Applicability of derived equation for decribing the studied process under steady conditions during regeneration of NPP spent fuel is shown
