Pulse radiolysis studies of berkelium(III): preparation and identification of berkelium(II) in aqueous perchlorate media
- 1. Argonne National Lab., IL (USA)
Description
The first direct evidence for the formation of Bk(II) in aqueous solutions as a result of pulse radiolysis is reported herein. The barrier that the necessity of a high pH has presented for this reaction was circumvented by using bicarbonate to adjust the pH, by maintaining rigorously oxygen-free conditions, and by using ethanol to suppress radiolysis products. The absorption ascribed to Bk(II) occurs at 310nm, and the molar absorptivity at this wavelength is consistent with theoretical considerations advanced by Carnall and Crosswhite. 10 references, 2 figures
