Ay. Zhang et al., Hydroxylamine derivative in Purex Process II. Study on the kinetics and mechanism of redox reaction between N,N-diethylhydroxylamine and vanadium(V), J RAD NUCL, 247(3), 2001, pp. 525-530
The kinetics of the oxidation-reduction reaction between N,N-diethylhydroxy
lamine (DEHAN) and vanadium(V) in nitric acid media have been studied by sp
ectrophotometry at 13.5 degreesC. The rate equation of reaction was found t
o be -d[V(V)/dt = k[V(V)I [DEHAN] by investigating the influence of the con
centration, acidity, ionic strength and the effect of initial concentration
on reaction. The rate constant of reaction k = 36.38 mol/l(-2).min(-1) whe
n mu = 2.0 mol/l. A possible mechanism of reaction has been suggested on th
e basis of chemical analysis, H-1 NMR and ESR spectra.
