钚(Ⅲ)的电解氧化调价

    THE VALENCE ADJUSTMENT OF PLUTONIUM IN PUREX PROCESS BY ELECTROLYTIC OXIDATION

    • 摘要: <正> 在普雷克斯流程中通常采用亚硝酸钠或通入氮氧化物气体的方法进行1BP中钚(Ⅲ)的调价。这样的方法要消耗大量化学试剂。电解氧化技术的使用不仅可使设备紧凑,运行安全,稳定,而且可大大降低燃料处理和废物管理费用。 文献中有关肼、铀(Ⅳ)、钚(Ⅲ)和钚(Ⅳ)在硝酸介质中电解氧化的资料较少。我们在实验室条件下进行了硝酸肼、铀(Ⅳ)和钚(Ⅲ)的电解氧化研究,对使用电解还原反萃流程产生的1BP溶液中钚的氧化调价条件进行了探讨。

       

      Abstract: The electrolytic oxidation of hydrazine, U(Ⅳ) and Pu( Ⅲ) has been studied in HNO3 medium using controlled potential technique. The anode is made of platinized tantanium. The results obtained indicate that the overpotential of oxygen evolution in nitric acid solution is lower by about 200. mV than that in perchloric acid solution. The hydrazine and pu( Ⅲ) are oxidized readily. Besides, the oxidation rate for hydrazine increases with flow velocity and decreases with increase in HNO3 concentration apparently, whereas the oxidation of Pu(IV) and U(Ⅳ) requires a large overpotential. By the electrolysis of 43 ml of the synthetical "1BP" solution containing 0.011M Pu(Ⅲ)-0.0015 M U(Ⅳ)-0.133M N2H5+-1.71M HNO3 at a potential of 900-1300 mV vs SCE for 60 minuts, the oxidation of hydrazine, U(Ⅳ) and Pu(Ⅲ) in the solution is almost complete.
