Ak. Posokhov et Si. Rovnyi, FEATURES OF THE SORPTION AND DEPOSITION OF ACTINIDES ONTO STAINLESS-STEEL FROM HNO3 .2. FORMS OF NP SORBED FROM HNO3, Soviet radiochemistry, 33(2), 1991, pp. 183-186
Data are presented for the sorption of Np from HCl and HNO3 solutions
onto 12X18N10T stainless steel. The decrease of sorption of Np ions fr
om HNO3 as the acid concentration increases is explained by complexati
on of Np by nitrate. The calculated stability constants of the Np-nitr
ate complexes (NpNO3(3+) and NpO2NO3+) are 1.96 +/- 0.16 and 0.13 +/-
0.20, respectively.
