Solvent extraction has generally been the method of choice for the reprocessing of used nuclear fuel. Fundamentally, solvent extraction is based on the differences in solubility of chemical species dissolved in a biphasic ...

99Technetium (t½ = 2.1×105 y) constitutes approximately 6.1% of the cumulative yield of thermal 235U thermal fission. In the +7 oxidation state, technetium has high aqueous solubility and forms the anionic structure TcO4- ...

This study investigated the application of calorimetric entropy titrations to the light lanthanides in TALSPEAK-like systems. Since TALSPEAK operates in an unusual ionic medium, this work was expanded to probe medium effects ...

Luminescence spectroscopy and thermodynamic techniques were used to determine the solvation environment and reaction thermodynamic driving forces for Eu(III) complexation with 2-hydroxyisobutyric acid (HIBA) and 2-aminoisobutyric ...

Eukaryotic cell membrane dynamics change in curvature during physiological and pathological processes. These processes cause dynamic membrane changes leading to seven important cellular biological functions, which include ...

The relativistic correlation consistent basis sets for Lanthanide elements are developed with the 3rd-order Douglas-Kroll-Hess Hamiltonian. Atomic and molecular benchmark calculations show robust reliability of the new ...

Solvent extraction is a technique commonly used is the reprocessing of used nuclear fuel elements. It utilizes the partitioning of a metal ion between two immiscible phases, typically an acidic aqueous phase and a light ...

Plants produce a dazzling collection of chemical compounds with great structural and functional diversity that are known as specialized metabolites which have important roles in plant defense responses. Most significantly, ...
