Coprecipitation of 10(-4) M of Np-237(VI) and 2 x 10(-7) M of a Np-237(VI)
+ Np-239(VI) mixture with manganese dioxide formed from MnO4- under the act
ion of H2O2 Or sulfite and with Mn(ON)(2) resulting from the reduction of M
nO4- with hydroxylamine from ammonia and alkaline solutions in the range fr
om DH 9.3 to 7 M OH- was studied radiometrically. Neptunium is reduced to p
entavalent state and coprecipitates from solutions with [OH-] < 1 M.
