クエン酸存在下、pH2-7におけるUO$$_{2}$$$$^{2+}$$の還元挙動をカラム電極電解法を用いて調べた。UO$$_{2}$$$$^{2+}$$は、pH2で1段階の還元反応により、pH3-5で2段階の還元反応によりU(IV)まで還元された。UO$$_{2}$$$$^{2+}$$の還元電位は、pHが2から7に増加するのにしたがって低電位にシフトした。pH6-7では、-0.8V以下の電位でもUO$$_{2}$$$$^{2+}$$は完全に還元されなかった。紫外可視吸収スペクトル分析及び化学種計算から、クエン酸存在下におけるUO$$_{2}$$$$^{2+}$$の化学種は、pH2-3ではおもにUO$$_{2}$$$$^{2+}$$, pH3-5でおもに[(UO$$_{2}$$)$$_{2}$$Cit$$_{2}$$]$$^{2-}$$, pH5-7では3量体以上の化学種であった。これらの結果から、UO$$_{2}$$$$^{2+}$$は中性pH付近でクエン酸と多量体を形成し、還元されにくくなることがわかった。

We examined the reduction behavior of UO$$_{2}$$$$^{2+}$$ in citrate media at pH 2.0-7.0 by column electrodes. At pH 2.0, UO$$_{2}$$$$^{2+}$$ was reduced to U(IV) through a one-step reduction process, while it was reduced to U(IV) through a two-step reduction process at pH 3.0-5.0. The reduction potential of UO$$_{2}$$$$^{2+}$$ shifted to lower values with an increase in pH from 2.0 to 7.0. At pH 6.0 and 7.0, UO$$_{2}$$$$^{2+}$$ was not reduced to U(IV) completely at the electrode potential above -0.8 V. Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy and speciation calculation of UO$$_{2}$$$$^{2+}$$ in citrate media indicated that uranium existed as a mainly UO$$_{2}$$$$^{2+}$$ at pH 2-3, and a predominant species at pH 3-5 was [(UO$$_{2}$$)$$_{2}$$Cit$$_{2}$$]$$^{2-}$$. At pH 5-7, polymeric complexes were present. These findings suggest that the reduction of UO$$_{2}$$$$^{2+}$$ is more difficult by polymerization of UO$$_{2}$$$$^{2+}$$ with citric acid at higher pHs.
