Description

The objective of the present work is to measure the redox potential of the couple UO2(CO3)34-/UO2(CO3)35- to test specific interaction theory with the highly charged anionic limiting complexes of hexavalent and pentavalent uranium, that exist in concentrated carbonate solutions. The poor precision of published results on the entropy of actinide ions induces uncertainties on the redox potentials at high temperature thus the variation of the redox potentials of the couples UO22+/UO2+, U4+/U3+ and UO2(CO3)34-/UO2(CO3)35- versus temperature was studied.
