Effect of Phosphate, Fluoride, and Nitrate on Gibbsite Dissolution Rate and Solubility

Tracking nitrite's deviation from Stokes–Einstein predictions with pulsed field gradient 15N NMR spectroscopy

“…Radioactive wastes stored in underground tanks at the Department of Energy legacy nuclear sites, such as the Hanford Site in Washington State, are comprised in part of solutions of sodium salts of nitrite (NaNO 2 ) and nitrate oxyanions, as well as sodium salts of hydroxide (NaOH) and aluminate. [1][2][3][4] Studying the structure, stability, and dynamics of these oxyanion solutions is of benefit to ongoing activities to transport the waste out of the tanks for safe processing and long-term storage. 5 Determining the intermolecular interactions of oxyanions with other constituents within concentrated alkaline electrolytes has proved challenging due to the disparate sensitivities of experimental techniques to those interactions.…”
