Systematic investigations of uranium carbide composites oxidation from micro- to nano-scale: Application to waste disposal

The production of radioisotope beams at the ISOLDE (Isotope Separator OnLine DEvice) facility at CERN is achieved by irradiating target materials (e.g. uranium carbides and metal foils) with protons. The materials are usually operated at temperatures above ...

Design, synthesis, reactivity, and magnetic properties of uranium based oxide and nitride complexes

Luciano Barluzzi

The activation of small molecules is a paramount challenge in modern chemistry. The use of cheap and abundant molecules such as N2, H2, CO2, or CO as energy supplies or as precursors for fine chemicals production is highly desirable. In particular, the onl ...

Nanoscale mechanism of UO2 formation through uranium reduction by magnetite

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Barbora Bártová, Thomas La Grange, Zezhen Pan

Uranium (U) is a ubiquitous element in the Earth's crust at similar to 2 ppm. In anoxic environments, soluble hexavalent uranium (U(VI)) is reduced and immobilized. The underlying reduction mechanism is unknown but likely of critical importance to explain ...

Structural Snapshots of Cluster Growth from {U6 } to {U38 } During the Hydrolysis of UCl4

Marinella Mazzanti, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Lucile Sylvie Danielle Chatelain, Radmila Faizova

Herein we report the assembly of large uranium(IV) clusters with novel nuclearities and/or shapes from the controlled hydrolysis of UCl4 in organic solution and in the presence of the benzoate ligands. {U6}, {U13}, {U16}, {U24}, {U38} oxo and oxo/hydroxo c ...

The underappreciated role of nonvolatile cations in aerosol ammonium-sulfate molar ratios

Athanasios Nenes, Hairun Guo

Overprediction of fine-particle ammonium-sulfate molar ratios (R) by thermodynamic models is suggested as evidence for interactions with organic constituents that inhibit the equilibration of gas-phase ammonia with aerosol sulfate and questions the equilib ...

Synthesis and Characterization of a Water Stable Uranyl(V) Complex

Rosario Scopelliti, Radmila Faizova, Marinella Mazzanti, Anne-Sophie Chauvin

We have identified a polydentate aminocarboxylate ligand that stabilizes uranyl(V) in water. The mononuclear [UO2(dpaea)]X, (dpaeaH2 = Bis(pyridyl-6-methyl-2-carboxylate)-ethylamine; X = CoCp2*+ or X = K(2.2.2.cryptand) complexes have been isolated from an ...

Microbial communities associated with uranium in-situ recovery mining process are related to acid mine drainage assemblages

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Pierre Rossi, Luiz Felippe De Alencastro, Thomas Coral

A large fraction (47%) of the world's uranium is mined by a technique called “In Situ Recovery” (ISR). This mining technique involves the injection of a leaching fluid (acidic or alkaline) into a uranium-bearing aquifer and the pumping of the resulting sol ...

Modelling of fuel fragmentation, relocation and dispersal during Loss-of-Coolant Accident in Light Water Reactor

Vladimir Vladimirov Brankov

Recent LOCA tests with high burnup fuel at the OECD Halden Reactor Project and at Studsvik demonstrated the susceptibility of the fuel to fragment to small pieces, to relocate and possibly cause a hot-spot effect and to be dispersed in the event of claddin ...

Heterometallic Fe-2(II)-U-V and Ni-2(II)-U-V Exchange-Coupled Single-Molecule Magnets: Effect of the 3d Ion on the Magnetic Properties

Marinella Mazzanti, Lucile Sylvie Danielle Chatelain

Uranium-based compounds have been put forward as ideal candidates for the design of single-molecule magnets (SMMs) with improved properties, but to date, only two examples of exchange-coupled 3d-5f SMM containing uranium have been reported and both are bas ...

Speciation and reactivity of uranium products formed during in situ bioremediation in a shallow alluvial aquifer

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Elena Suvorova Buffat, Daniel Scott Alessi

In this study, we report the results of in situ U(VI) bioreduction experiments at the Integrated Field Research Challenge site in Rifle, Colorado, USA. Columns filled with sediments were deployed into a groundwater well at the site and, after a period of c ...
