Description

The oxidation of americium(III) with sodium bismuthate has been investigated in a nitric acid solution. The lower the acidity, the more rapidly the oxidation of americium(III) to americium(VI) proceeds, especially at higher temperatures. Based on this finding, a procedure was developed to oxidize americium(III) completely at low concentrations. The americium(VI) free from the excess oxidant has been found to be stable only at 0°C, irrespective of the acidity, but to be more unstable at the temperature higher than 10°C, especially at lower acidities.
