摘要:
Gas thermochromatographic experiments aimed to prepare volatile oxygen-containing americium compounds were performed. Under the experimental conditions, Am formed three volatile compounds: AmO2, previously unknown trioxide AmO3, and, presumably, acid of the composition H2AmO4, with centers of the adsorption zones at similar to 475, similar to 315, and similar to 140 degrees C. The calculated enthalpies of adsorption -Delta H-a(0) of these compounds on the quartz surface (kJ mol(-)1()) are 180 +/- 10, 144 +/- 7, and 109 +/- 8, respectively. Americium di- and trioxide are less volatile than the respective oxides of U, Np, and Pu. The same trend was observed with the presumed acids.
