Study of oxidation state of plutonium in solution by flow-coulometric method.
Reduction rates of Pu(IV) and oxidation rates of Pu(III) have been studied in sulphuric acid and nitric acid media, as functions of acid concentration, plutonium concentration and kind of acid. A flow-coulometric method was used in this work. This procedure has many merits, namely, the sample size required is very small, special reagents are not used, fewer limitations are imposed by the type and concentration of acid, and the method is rapid.
