Reduction kinetics of Np(VI) by $$n$$-butyraldehyde in tributyl phosphate diluted with $$n$$-dodecane

Ban, Yasutoshi  ; Asakura, Toshihide; Morita, Yasuji  

The reduction kinetics of Np(VI) by $$n$$-butyraldehyde in 30%TBP solution diluted with $$n$$-dodecane were analyzed by spectrophotometry. Based on the results of both $$n$$-butyraldehyde and nitric acid concentration dependencies on the Np(VI) reduction reaction, the rate equation was obtained as -d$$t$$[Np(VI)]/d$$t$$ = $$k$$[$$n$$-C$$_{3}$$H$$_{7}$$CHO]$$^{0.8}$$[HNO$$_{3}$$]$$^{-2.0}$$[Np(VI)]$$_{t}$$ where $$k$$ = (1.0$$pm$$0.2) $$times$$ 10$$^{-3}$$ M$$^{1.2}$$min$$^{-1}$$ at 294 $$pm$$ 1 K. The activation energy of the reaction was 76 $$pm$$ 5 kJ/mol. Redox equilibrium between Np(V) and N(VI), and reaction mechanism were discussed.
