About this Engineering article
Determination of the solubility product of plutonium sesquioxide in the NaCl+CaCl2 eutectic and calculation of a potential–pO2− diagram by David Lambertin; Jérôme Lacquement; Sylvie Sanchez; Gérard Picard is a Engineering article available to read on EtoBox.
Reactions between plutonium trichloride and oxide ions were studied in the fused NaCl þ CaCl 2 equimolar mixture at 823 K, by potentiometry with an yttria-stabilised zirconia membrane electrode. Titration curve demonstrated the existence of a precipitated plutonium oxide ðPu 2 O 3 Þ with dissociation constant 10 À17:5 (molality scale). The combination of this data with the standard potentials allowed to set up the potential-pO 2À diagram of plutonium which summarises the properties of plutonium species in the melt.
It is typically read by researchers, students, and practitioners in Engineering.
