Gp. Nikitina et al., MECHANISM OF REDOX DISSOLUTION OF TRANSURANIUM AND RARE-EARTH DIOXIDES .2. EFFECT OF DOPING ON THE KINETICS OF REDUCTION OF CERIUM DIOXIDE BY BIVALENT IRON, Radiochemistry, 37(5), 1995, pp. 372-375
Samples of cerium dioxide doped with calcium (3.5 x 10(-3)-3.3 at. %),
praseodymium (1.1 x 10(-3)-1.5%), phosphorus (4.6 x 10(-3)-0.45%), an
d fluorine (7.5 x 10(-2)-0.75%) have been synthesized. Rate of samples
dissolution in sulfuric acid solutions of bivalent iron as a function
of atomic fraction of impurity passes through a maximum. Dissolution
rate does not correlate with the surface area of the sample.
