Plutonium hydrolysis: the one-oxidation-state method and triple-point analysis

  • Published:
Journal of Radioanalytical and Nuclear Chemistry Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The one-oxidation-state method is used to estimate the equilibrium constant of the first hydrolysis reaction of tetravalent plutonium. The analysis of the properties of plutonium near a triple point is an alternative approach to the estimation of the hydrolysis constant.
