Abstract
The effect of Fe3+ on the reduction of Np(VI) with 1,1-dimethylhydrazi ne in nitric acid media has been studied by spectrophotometry and radi oactive measurements. The results show that Fe3+ can be reduced by 1,1 -dimethylhydrazine, and acts as a catalyst that markedly accelerates t he reduction rate of Np(VI) --> Np(V) --> Np(IV). The amount of Np(IV) from the reduction increases with increasing concentrations of Fe3+, 1,1-dimethylhydrazine and nitric acid.
