Development of chemical, electrochemical, spectroscopic and mass spectrometric methods for speciation of plutonium ions

Status

 
Terminated - Planned from October 2004 till April 2006

Goals

The goal of this joint research project is to develop a pool of reliable methods for the speciation of plutonium in various solutions. As new techniques, electrospray mass spectrometry (ES-MS) and capillary electrophoresis (CE), coupled to ICP-MS or laser resonance ionisation mass spectrometry, will be introduced.

Expected results

The results of this joint research project will have an impact on:

  • the tools for reliable speciation of plutonium in aqueous solutions;
  • the methods to characterise and to quantify the colloidal fraction of plutonium;
  • the data on plutonium complexation with inorganic and organic ligands;
  • the experience to overcome experimental artefacts and to disambiguate research results in plutonium chemistry.
