Studies on metal α-isosaccharinic acid complexes
thesis
posted on 2018-08-01, 08:36 authored by Nicholas D.M. EvansThis thesis details the experimental work carried out during a three year
project commissioned by UK-Nirex. The main objective of the project was
further developing the software package STAB, a programme produced at
Loughborough University for predicting stability constants.
It is intended that the software will be able to predict stability constants for
complexes likely to be formed in a cementitious repository for intermediate
and low level nuclear waste. Cellulosic materials in the waste in such
repositories are likely to be degraded into potential ligands such as
isosaccharinic acid. Thus, there is a need for knowledge of the complexes
that they may form with radionuclides in the waste. [Continues.]
