Neptunium (Np) generally exists in aqueous solution in three valence states Np (IV), np (V), np (VI), where Np (V) is the most stable, most common valence state. The coordination behavior of Np (V) and inorganic anions or organic ligands can be studied to obtain information such as coordination constants, thermodynamic parameters and the like, so that the species distribution and migration behavior of Np (V) in an aqueous solution can be known. Since there is no coordination between the Np ions and perchlorate, a solution of perchloric acid containing Np is usually obtained first, wherein the preparation of the single valence Np (V) ions of the perchloric acid system is a primary technical difficulty.
The preparation of Np (V) solutions is generally a two-step process, where Np is oxidized to Np (VI) and then reduced to Np (V) using a reducing agent, commonly used oxidizing and reducing agents are perchloric acid and sodium nitrite, respectively. The specific method comprises the following steps: solid NpO 2 Dissolving in concentrated perchloric acid, adding a few drops of concentrated hydrochloric acid, heating the solution to remove excessive perchloric acid and a small amount of hydrochloric acid after complete dissolution, wherein Np in the solution is oxidized to Np (VI), and the solution turns pink. To the pink solution of Np (VI) was added a small amount of sodium nitrite, the solution turned green and Np (VI) was reduced to Np (V). Subsequently 1mol/L sodium hydroxide is added into the solution to generate NpO 2 And (3) OH precipitation, centrifuging and repeatedly cleaning the precipitate with deionized water for three times to ensure that excessive sodium hydroxide is removed, and finally dissolving the precipitate with 1mol/L perchloric acid to obtain a perchloric acid solution containing Np (V). Although the above-mentioned method can obtain Np (V) solution with higher purity, it is cumbersome to operate, and radioactive waste liquid is generated, and in addition, the loss of Np is inevitably caused in the precipitation process.
To solve the above problems, an embodiment provides a method for preparing a perchloric acid system containing pentavalent neptunium ions, which may include: pyridine is used as a reducing agent, hexavalent neptunium ions are reduced into pentavalent neptunium ions in acetonitrile, acetonitrile and pyridine in a reaction system are removed, and then perchloric acid solution is added to prepare a perchloric acid system containing the pentavalent neptunium ions.
According to the preparation method, organic solvent pyridine is used for replacing inorganic salt to serve as a reducing agent to reduce hexavalent neptunium ions, and after acetonitrile and pyridine in a reaction system are removed, pentavalent neptunium solids can be directly obtained, the operation process is simple, neptunium is basically completely recovered, and no radioactive waste liquid is generated.

When the molar concentration of the perchloric acid solution is 0.1-2.0 mol/L, the pentavalent neptunium ions can exist stably for a long time in the perchloric acid solution; if the molar concentration of the perchloric acid solution is too high, the pentavalent neptunium ions may undergo disproportionation.
In some embodiments, determining whether the hexavalent neptunium ions contained in the first solution are fully reduced may also be included.
In some of these embodiments, it may be determined that the hexavalent neptunium ions contained in the first solution are completely reduced when the reaction system is a bright green clarified solution that does not contain precipitates.

And placing the centrifugal tube into a centrifugal machine for centrifugation for 2-3 min, wherein the rotating speed is 3000-3200 rpm. After centrifugation, the bottom of the tube is provided with light-colored solid, and the supernatant is colorless and transparent; transferring the supernatant to a radioactive waste liquid bottle, and transferring the supernatant as clean as possible. Then, 2mL of pure water was added for washing, the mixture was centrifuged for 3min to separate phases, and the supernatant was transferred to a radioactive waste bottle as well, and the above washing operation was repeated three times. The final solid was dissolved in 5mL of 1.0mol/L perchloric acid solution, which was green.

The preparation method in comparative example 1 has the following problems compared with the preparation method of the present invention: complicated steps, tiny Np loss, radioactive waste liquid generation and poor purity of the final Np solution. According to the perchloric acid system containing pentavalent neptunium ions and the preparation method thereof, provided by the invention, the organic solvent pyridine is used for replacing inorganic salt as a reducing agent to reduce hexavalent neptunium, and the pentavalent neptunium solid can be directly obtained after acetonitrile and pyridine in the reaction system are removed, so that the operation process is simple, and the neptunium is basically completely recovered and no radioactive waste liquid is generated.
The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined, and all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are not described for brevity of description, however, as long as there is no contradiction between the combinations of the technical features, they should be considered as the scope of the description.
The above examples illustrate only a few embodiments of the invention, which are described in detail and are not to be construed as limiting the scope of the invention. It should be noted that it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that several variations and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention, which are all within the scope of the invention. Accordingly, the scope of protection of the present invention is to be determined by the appended claims.
