The chemical behavior of Np is influenced by many factors, such as U(IV), hydrazine, Pu and Tc, which coexist in U/Pu separation stage of PUREX process. Firstly, the reduction of Np(V) to Np(IV) by Tc(IV) was studied in nitric acid media, and the rate equation could be expressed as −d[Np(V)]/d = [Np(V)][Tc(IV)] 0.8 [HNO 3 ] 1.2 ,= 28.5 ± 0.9 (L/mol) 2 /min at 25 ∘ C, the activation energy was a = 70.0 kJ/mol. Thereafter, the chemical behavior
