摘要:
A 30 year-old PuF4 sample consisting of brown powder (PuF4-b) and pink granules (PuF4-p) was analyzed. X-ray diffraction shows the bulk is comprised of three compounds: PuF4, -PuO2, and -PuF4 center dot 1.6H(2)O. Broadening of PuF4 XRD peaks suggests possible a-damage. After annealing at 650 degrees C, crystalline PuF4 and PuO2 remain. Thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry-with simultaneous evolved gas analysis- of the separated PuF4-p and PuF4-b components reveal a distinct sequence of reactions. Dehydration occurs between similar to 90 and 300 degrees C. Exothermic annealing of the a-damage occurs in two stages: at 350-355 degrees C and at 555-558 degrees C. Hydrofluoric acid, fluorine and helium desorb during the first exotherm. Above 700 degrees C, PuF4 reacts with -PuO2, resulting in oxygen release and mass loss.
