Times Cited Count:90 Percentile:85.61(Electrochemistry)Electrochemical experiments were carried out at 723-823K in order to estimate separation coefficients in LiCl-KCl eutectic melt containing uranium and lanthanum trichlorides. The diffusion coefficients of U(III) were determined by electrochemical methods. The standard rate constants of charge transfer for electroreduction of uranium U(III) +3e=U were calculated by the impedance spectroscopy method. It was shown that for the calculation of uranium and lanthanum separation coefficients it is necessary to determine the voltammetric peak potentials of U(III) and La(III), their concentration in the melt and the kinetic parameters relating to U(III) discharge such as transfer and diffusion coefficients, and standard rate constants of charge transfer.

Electrochemical experiments were carried out at 723-823 K to estimate separation coefficients in LiCl-KCl eutectic melt containing uranium and lanthanum trichlorides. Uranium and lanthanum separation coefficients is calcurated with the voltammetric peak potentials of U (III) and La (III), their concentration in the melt and kinetic parameters for U(III) discharge such as diffusion coefficients, and standard rate constants of charge transfer. The diffusion coefficients of U (III) were determined by some electrochemical measurements. The standard rate constants of charge transfer for electroreduction of uranium U(III) +3e =U were calculated by impedance spectroscopy method.

Times Cited Count:7 Percentile:17.32(Electrochemistry)It was shown that contact of oxide materials with LiCl-KCl eutectic melt containing UCl and UCl changes drastically the mechanism of uranium electroreduction. Transformation of voltammograms on addition of oxide ions (LiO) to the melt LiCl-KCl-UCl was studied. Similar changes of voltammetric curves were observed during a long contact of oxide materials with LiCl-KCl-UCl molten system due to appearance of oxide ions in the melt resulting from oxide materials corrosion.

Times Cited Count:110 Percentile:94.86(Electrochemistry)The electrochemical behavior of UCl and UCl dissolved in LiCl-KCl eutectic melt was studied at 723-823 K. Electroreduction of U(IV) in LiCl-KCl melt occurs via two successive steps involving transfer of one and three electrons. The diffusion coefficients of U(IV) and U(III) ions were determined by linear sweep voltammetry, chronopotentiometry, and chronoamperometry. The formal standard potential of EU(IV)/U(III), EU(IV)/U, and EU(III)/U were determined and some thermodynamic properties of UCl and UCl dissolved in LiCl-KCl eutectic melt were calculated. Influence of oxide ions on electrochemical behavior was also studied.
