Abstract

The speciation of the Am(III) ion in various chemical states is illustrated using laser-induced photoacoustic spectroscopy (LPAS). Based on these reference LPAS spectra, the actual chemical states of Am(III) in one of Gorleben groundwaters are systematically verified. The a-radiolytic oxidation of Am(III) to Am(V) in the concentrated NaCl solution and their carbonate complexation are also speciated for the purpose of demonstration.
