Solubilities and solubilisation enthalpies of alkali metal uranates(VI) in carbonate melts
Literature Information
A detailed investigation of the dissolution of alkali metal uranates in carbonate melts has been performed for the first time. The solubilities are reported for three alkali metal (Li, Na and K) mono- and diuranates, between 723 and 1073 K in alkali metal carbonate mixtures, and ranged from 20 to 275 wt ppm. The solvents used were the carbonate eutectics Li–Na, Li–K and Li–Na–K, and the low melting carbonate liquid Na–K. The well-known V-shaped behaviour of the solubilities of binary oxides in molten sulfates and carbonates with basicity increase was here observed for mono- and diuranates(VI). The explanation in terms of acid–base behaviour holds, the acidity and solubilities decreasing initially with temperature increase and then reversing as the melt becomes more basic. Uranate dissolution is thus both a physical and chemical process and hence from these data the solubilisation enthalpy in both acidic and basic melts was obtained for all six uranates(VI) in the four melts. Further, the oxidation of UO2 to form uranates in molten carbonates must proceed by mass transfer of an oxidising species through a layer of uranates formed on the urania surface.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
