Abstract

The behavior of Np in higher oxidation states in alkaline solution containing silicate and aluminate ions was studied. In formation of a crystalline aluminosilicate in a solution, Np(V), (VI), and (VII) are not incorporated into its crystal structure but hamper formation of the solid phase. The possibility of sorption of Np on various aluminosilicates is primarily governed by its oxidation state. Np(V) and Np(VII) are not sorbed from strong alkali. Np(VI) is retained by aluminosilicate materials to various extents depending on the surface characteristics and surface area of these materials. On heating, the degree of Np(VI) sorption decreases, which suggests the physical nature of the process.
