Vs. Koltunov et al., REACTION-KINETICS OF NP AND PU IONS WITH HYDROXYLAMINE DERIVATIVES .6. REACTION BETWEEN NP(VI) AND N,N-DIETHYLHYDROXYLAMINE, Radiochemistry, 35(4), 1993, pp. 436-441
The rate of Np(VI) reduction to Np(V) by N,N-diethylhydroxylamine in H
NO3 solution obeys the equation -d[Np(VI)]/dt = k[Np(VI)][(C2H5)2NHOH]/[H+]0.84, where k = 22.6 +/- 0.8 liter0.16/mole0.16.min at 25-degree
s-C and mu = 2. The activation energy of the reaction is E = 68.5 +/-
0.9 kJ/mole. The activation entropy is DELTAS = -(32 +/- 3) J/mole -K
. The reaction mechanism is discussed.
