Description

Manganese dioxide is present in some of the radioactive waste storage tanks within the U.S. Department of Energy complex and may influence the oxidation state of plutonium in these waste solutions. Manganese dioxide also is a common component of natural water systems in which it may influence the oxidation state and subsequently the environmental behavior of plutonium. Because of its oxidizing properties, manganese dioxide has been considered in a sediment remobilization model as contributing to the oxidation of sorbed Pu(IV) to the more soluble Pu(V).1 In this study an experimental procedure has been developed to monitor the oxidation kinetics of plutonium by manganese dioxide
