Abstract

The electrolysis of trivalent californium, terbium and praseodimium in 2M K2CO3 solutions at pH 13.2 results in a partial oxidation of the trivalent ions to a higher oxidation state. Absorption spectra of Cf/III/ in 1M HCLO4 and in 2M K2O3 and that of oxidized californium in carbonate solution have been recorded. Incomplete oxidation is accounted to a reducing species generated at high anode potentials.
