Materials for Nuclear Power: Digital Resource Center - ABSTRACT: Microscale Characterization of Uranium(VI) Silicate Solids and Associated Neptunium(V)

The uranium(VI) silicate phases uranophane, Ca[(UO2)(SiO3OH)]2·5H2O, and sodium boltwoodite, Na[(UO2)(SiO3OH)]·1.5H2O, were synthesized in the presence of small, variable quantities (0.5–2.0 mol % relative to U) of pentavalent neptunium (Np(V), as NpO2+), to investigate the nature of its association with these U(VI) solid phases. The link provided leads to the abstract only. The full article can be purchased from Oldenbourg.
