Abstract
Precipitation diagrams were constructed using the data obtained in experiments with direct mixing of uranyl ion ([UO2]2+) and hydrogen peroxide. Three days after mixing the system, equilibrium was established in the [ H2O2]tot > [UO2]tot concentration region, resulting in stability of the concentration boundary. From this boundary condition, the solubility product (Ksp = [ UO2 2+] × [O2 2–]) was defined. The mean value of the solubility product was (1.32 ± 0.02) × 10–36 mol dm–3. From the solubility border, where equilibrium was established, i.e., at [UO2 2+] = 1.4 × 10–4 mol dm–3, the heterogeneous distribution diagrams of uranyl species, including the solid phase, were calculated.
