Processing of Plutonium by Ion Exchange-VI. Plutonium (IV) Sorption Kinetics on Dowex 1×4 from Nitrate Solutions

Sorption of Plutonium-237 by Two Species of Marine Phytoplankton>-^

The adsorption of plutoniurn-23 7, added from an acid solution, by two species of marine phytoplankton, MOTIOchrysis luLheri Droop, a flagellated chrysomonad, and Phaeodactylutn tricornutum Bohlin, a diatom, is governed by a passive mechanism. This is clearly indicated by the observation that the rapid rates of sorption were not significantly different for live and heat-killed cells incubated a...

Data Analysis of Plutonium Sorption on Colloids in a Minimal Kinetics Model

A Structurally Characterized Organometallic Plutonium(IV) Complex

The blood-red plutonocene complex Pu(1,3-COT'')(1,4-COT'') (4; COT''=η8 -bis(trimethylsilyl)cyclooctatetraenyl) has been synthesized by oxidation of the anionic sandwich complex Li[Pu(1,4-COT'')2 ] (3) with anhydrous cobalt(II) chloride. The first crystal structure determination of an organoplutonium(IV) complex revealed an asymmetric sandwich structure for 4 where one COT'' ring is 1,3-substit...

Plutonium problems.

Contaminants in Fish From the icy waters of Boston Harbor to the warm waves of San Diego Bay, bottomdwelling fish suffer liver damage caused by chemical contaminants, according to researchers at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. But seafood lovers need not panic, because damaged specimens were captured primarily in urban waters where commercial fishing is prohibited, said Lyn...

Hydride-Catalyzed Corrosion of Plutonium by Air: Initiation by Plutonium Monoxide Monohydride

Chemistry and kinetics of air reactions with plutonium monoxide monohydride (PuOH) and with mixtures of the oxide hydride and plutonium metal are defined by results of pressure-volumetemperature (PVT) measurements. Tests with specimens prepared by total and partial corrosion of plutonium in 0.05 M sodium chloride solution show that reaction of residual water continues to generate H, after liqui...
