Thermochemical Properties of Lanthanides (Ln = La, Nd) and Actinides (An = U, Np, Pu, Am) in the Molten LiCl-KCl Eutectic
The electrochemical reduction of actinides (U, Pu, Np and Am) and lanthanides (La and Nd) chlorides was investigated by cyclic voltammetry and chronopotentiometry at different temperatures in LiCl¿KCl eutectic. The diffusion coeffcients of these metallic cations were estimated as well as their apparent standard potentials. These values of potentials are compared with existing data measured also by transient electrochemical techniques or e.m.f. measurements.
