Description

The electrolysis of trivalent californium, terbium and praseodymium in 2M Ksub(2)COsub(3) solutions at pH 13.2 results in a partial oxidation of the trivalent ions to a higher oxidation state. Absorption spectra of Cf(III) in 1M HClOsub(4) and in 2M Ksub(2)COsub(3) and those of oxidized californium in carbonate solution were recorded. Incomplete oxidation is accounted to a reducing species generated at high anode potentials. (author)
