Project type

Large-Scale EMSL Research

One of the challenges in experimental investigations of actinide complexes is to determine their structures, bonding, and stabilities in solids and solutions. Our recent TRLIF work on U(VI), the…

An In-situ Investigation of a-AlOOH Dissolution under High pH Conditions

Lead Institution

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

Principal Investigator

Edgar Buck

The dissolution and precipitation of gibbsite [a-Al(OH)3] and boehmite [a-AlOOH] is of prime importance to the final disposition of high-level nuclear waste (HLW) stored at the Hanford Site. The high…
