LiCl-KCl熔盐中Pu3+在Al阴极上的电化学行为

    Electrochemical Behaviour of Pu3+ on Active Al Cathode in LiCl-KCl Molten Salt

    • 摘要: 基于固体Al阴极分离锕系元素(An)与裂变产物(FP)的电解精炼技术是极具前景的干法后处理流程之一。本研究采用暂态电化学法系统研究了Pu3+在固体Al阴极上的电化学行为。循环伏安法(CV)和方波伏安法(SWV)研究结果表明,Pu3+在Al阴极上可一步还原为合金,且该反应为不可逆,Pu3+与Al形成合金的电位与温度的关系式为EΘ,*(Pu3+/PuAln)(vs. Cl-/Cl2)=-2.944+9.84×10-4T。开路计时电位法(OCP)结合相图表明,Pu3+在固体Al阴极上可生成Pu3Al、PuAl、PuAl2、PuAl3和PuAl4五种合金化合物,且计算得到了不同温度时PuAl4的Gibbs生成自由能。

       

      Abstract: The electrolytic separation of actinides(An) from fission products(FPs) on solid Al cathode is one of the most promising pyrochemical reprocessing processes. In this work, the electrochemical behaviour of Pu3+ on active Al solid cathode was studied through the transient electrochemical method. Based on the results of cyclic voltammetry(CV) and square wave voltammetry(SWV), Pu3+ can be reduced into alloy through a onestep threeelectrons transfer process on Al cathode, and the reaction is irreversible. The relationship between the reduction potential of the alloy formed by Pu3+ with Al and temperature is EΘ,*(Pu3+/PuAln)(vs. Cl-/Cl2)=-2.944+9.84×10-4T. Five Pu alloys(involving Pu3Al, PuAl, PuAl2, PuAl3, and PuAl4) are formed according to the results of open circuit chronopotentiometry(OCP) together with phase diagrams of Pu-Al. Furthermore, the formation Gibbs free energies of PuAl4 at different temperature are calculated.
