The rate equations for the reduction of Np(V), Np(VI) and Pu(IV) ions by acetaldoxime in nitric acid have been determined as:-d[Np(V)]/dt = k- d[Np(VI)/dt = k- d[Pu(IV)/dt = kwhere respectively: kPossible reaction mechanisms for the reduction of Np(VI) and Pu(IV) have been suggested; proceeding, in both cases, via the hydrolysis product and an intermediate CH
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
