Description

By utilizing X-ray absorption methods, e.g., extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) and single crystal x-ray diffraction (XRD), as well as Raman, UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy, we have shown that an equilibrium exists between the monomeric uranyl hydroxide species UO2(OH)42- and UO2(OH)53-, which is dependent upon hydroxide concentration. Upon further study of this system, we have now determined that a new hydrolysis product is present in equilibrium with the monomeric uranyl hydroxide species, which is favored at higher UO22+ concentrations
