Thermodynamic Properties of Phases and Phase Equilibria in the H2O–HNO3–UO2(NO3)2–Th(NO3)4 System

Abstract

A set of Pitzer parameters was obtained to accurately describe the thermodynamic properties of solutions in the H2O–UO2(NO3)2–Th(NO3)4–HNO3 system at 25°С and represent the thermodynamic properties of liquid phases in the H2O–Th(NO3)4–HNO3 subsystem in the temperature range 25–50°С. Solubility products were calculated for crystal hydrates Th(NO3)4 · 6H2O and UO2(NO3)2 · 3H2O to predict the solubilities of these compounds in those solutions over a wide concentration range.
