Recent Advances in Aqueous Actinide Chemistry and Thermodynamics

Abstract

This review presents an overview of recent advances in aqueous actinide chemistry and thermodynamics. It addresses actinides from thorium to curium and covers three main areas of interest which are discussed in separate sub-chapters: Actinide solubility and complexation with inorganic ligands at low and intermediate ionic strength conditions; Actinide solubility and speciation in concentrated salt brine systems; Actinide chemistry at elevated temperatures.JRC.E - Institute for Transuranium Elements (Karlsruhe
