Chemical forms of molybdenum ion in nitric acid solution studied using liquid-phase X-ray absorption fine structure, Ultraviolet–Visible absorption spectroscopy and first-principles calculations
2019
Abstract We have investigated chemical forms of molybdenum ion in nitric acid solution, using liquid-phase X-ray absorption fine structure, ultraviolet–visible absorption spectroscopy and first-principles calculations, from a viewpoint of disposal of high-level radioactive nuclear liquid wastes. The experimental and theoretical results indicated that Mo is a hexavalent ion and forms a hexa-coordination binuclear-structured complex in the 2 M nitic acid solution. The predominant chemical species of Mo complexes in the 2 M nitric acid solution (which is used for HLLW) are assigned to be [Mo 2 O 5 (H 2 O) 6 ] 2+ and [Mo 2 O 4 (OH)(H 2 O) 6 ] 3+ . These species may play a crucial role of forming so-called yellow-phase in vitrified objects.
