Times Cited Count：1 Percentile：6.74(Chemistry, Multidisciplinary)Trivalent metal ion selective electrode (ISE) consisting of bis-(diphenylphosphoryl)-methane as an ionophore was developed for the determination of formation constants with organic ligands. The ISE prepared exhibited Nernstian response to the concentration of Eu
in the test solutions. Even in the presence of carboxylic acids such as malonic acid in samples, the obtained potential values were found to be stable and reproducible during the measurement time. The present formation constants of Eu with carboxylates were in good agreement with the reported values.

Times Cited Count：8 Percentile：19.4(Electrochemistry)The distribution coefficients of Am and Ce were measured in the eutectic LiCl-KCl/liquid Ga system at 773K. By using ZrCl
as the oxide ion scavenger in order to avoid the formation of such oxychlorides as MO
, the effect of oxide ion concentration was well controlled on the distribution coefficients of Am and Ce. The separation factor between Am and Ce was then obtained to be about 100. By comparing the present value with the other experimental and the predicted ones, it was confirmed that the Ga system was more selective than the Bi and Cd system.

Times Cited Count：1 Percentile：10.22(Chemistry, Inorganic & Nuclear)The distribution coefficients of Am, Ce, and Eu between the salt and metal phases were measured at 1073 K in a reductive extraction system of equimolar NaCl-KCl melt and liquid Ga, which were expected to be higher from a thermodynamic point of view. By changing some solute concentrations, it was observed that the distribution coefficients were much dependent on the oxide ion concentration in the system, possibly due to the formation of such compounds as AmO
and CeO. Also, in some runs, the mass balance of Am was affected possibly by the formation and precipitation of its oxychloride and/or oxide. By taking the observations into consideration, the separation factor between Am and Ce was obtained to be about 30 as a lower limit in the present system.

Times Cited Count：41 Percentile：92.56(Nuclear Science & Technology)The excess thermodynamic quantities of lanthanides and actinides in molten salts and liquid metals were studied for reductive extraction of minor actinides. The excess enthalpies and entropies of those elements in the molten chloride phase were found to be correlated with the ionic radii of metal ions possibly due to complex formation. In the liquid metal phase, on the other hand, the excess enthalpies were explained with Miedema's atomistic model and the excess entropies were explained with the vibrational entropy due to alloy formation. Using these correlations and models, some missing values of the excess thermodynamic quantities were evaluated and the separation factors of minor actinides from lanthanides were calculated in different reductive extraction systems. The higher separation factors were obtained in the system using aluminum or gallium than in the system using bismuth or cadmium as the liquid metal phase.

, CeO, NdO and YO) were allowed to react with ZrCl in a LiCl-KCl eutectic salt at 500
C to give a metal chloride solution and a precipitate of ZrO. By keeping the system quite still, the solution settled so that the ZrO precipitate could be separated.

In support of the safety assessment of geologic disposal of high level radioactive wastes, solubility measurement of Zr(IV) was performed in a pH range from 1 to 14 at ionic strength of 0.1, 0.5 and 1.0M. The values of solubility product and hydrolysis constant were obtained from the solubility data. Also, the polynuclear hydrolysis constants reported for hexavalent actinide ions were examined by using a hard sphere model, and some predictions were made.

In support of the safety assessment of geologic disposal of high level radioactive wastes, solubility measurement of U(IV) in alkaline solution was performed. The solubility of U(IV) was observed to increase in alkaline solution, and the hydrolysis constants beta
and beta
were obtained. Reported thermodynamic data of solubility products, hydrolysis constants and complexation constants were also compared and discussed. It was found that uncertainty of the reported betavalues of tetravalent actinide ions is still large. The betavalues were estimated by using a hard sphere model extended to 8 coordination, showing that such large uncertainty is due to the effect of colloid formation.

In support of the safety assessment of geologic disposal of high level radioactive wastes, hydrolysis reactions of U(IV) were studied. The hydrolysis constants of tetravalent uranium were determined by solvent extraction method using thenoyltrifluoroacetone(TTA) and 
U. The distribution ratio of U(IV) was measured as a function of the pH
value in the aqueous phase at I=0.1, 0.5 and 1.0, and was analyzed to obtain the hydrolysis constants of 
, 
and 
at the standard state (I=0). The higher order hydrolysis constants of 
and 
were also obtained from the results of the solubility measurement at a high pH condition. The systematic behavior of the hydrolysis constants was by using an improved hard sphere model.

In support of the safety assessment of geologic disposal of high level radioactive wastes, hydrolysis and complexation reactions of transuranium elements were studied. For comparison with the case of Pu(IV), the solubility of UO.xHO was measured under a reducing condition, and the solubility product K
and some hydrolysis constants were obtained. Similarly to the value of Pu(IV), the obtained K value was found to be considerably smaller than that predicted by Rai et al. from its dependence on ionic radius. Also, the solubility of UO(OH) under an oxidizing condition was measured, and the solubility product K was obtained. For complexation, furthermore, it was examined by using an improved hard sphere model to predict some complexation constants of actinide ions which were lacked in literatures.

In suport of the safety assessment of geologic disposal of high level radioactivc wastes, the solubility of transuranium elements was studied. The ionic strength dependence of solubility of PuO
xHO was measured under a reducing condition, and the solubility product K was obtained. The obtained K value was found to be much smaller than that predicted by Rai et al. from its dependence on ionic radius. Also, the systematic trends of complex formation constants of actinide ions were cxamined by using an improved hard sphere model. It was found that the systematic trends of the literature values for actinide ions other than An
were well explained by the present model. The reliability of the literature values for An would be checked.

In support of the safety assessment of geologic disposal of high levcl radioactive wastes, the solubility of transuranium elements was studied. The solubility of PuOxHO was measured undcr a reducing condition, and the solubility product K and the stability constant 
of Pu(OH) were obtained. The obtained K value was found to be much smaller than that predicted by Rai et al. from its dependence on ionic radius. Also, the solubility of PuO3 xHO was measured under an oxidizing condition and the solubility product K was obtained. In the analysis of hydrolysis constants of actinide ions, it was found that the systematic trend of the hydrolysis constants was well explained by the hard sphere model considering the effective charges of actinide ions.

In support of the safety assessment of geologic disposal of high level radioactive wastes, the solubility of transuranium elements was studied. The solubility of plutonium was measured in an aqueous solution of pH3-8 under reducing conditions, and the obtained results were well explained by considering the presence of the solution species of Pu(III) in equilibrium with the solid phase of PuO(am). Also, systematic behavior of hydrolysis constants of actinide ions was studied with the help of a simple hard sphere model. The literature data of the hydrolysis constants of actinide ions were analyzed by the model and systematic trends were explained by taking into account the effective charges of actinide ions. Such a model is useful to check the experimental data and to predict the unknown data from a systematic point of view.
