K. Ben Said et al., A novel approach to the oxidation potential of the Tc(VII)/Tc(IV) couple in hydrochloric acid medium through the reduction of TcO4- by Fe2+ ion, RADIOCH ACT, 83(4), 1998, pp. 195-203
A new approach to the determination of the standard potential E-0 of a redo
x couple involving Tc(VII) based on the reduction of technetium by ferrous
iron is presented. Formal potentials E'(0) were estimated in 1.0 M HCl medi
a at different technetium concentrations to be higher than 0.8 V: the redox
couple does not refer to TcO4-/TcO2(solid) but to TcO4- in equilibrium wit
h an other Tc(IV) species.
