About this book

This book provides detailed information on the electrochemistry of technetium compounds. After a brief physico-chemical characterization of this element, it presents the comparative chemistry of technetium, manganese and rhenium. Particular attention is paid to the stability, disproportionation, comproportionation, hydrolysis and polymerization reactions of technetium ions and their influence on the observed redox systems. The electrochemical properties of both inorganic as well as organic technetium species in aqueous and non-aqueous solutions are also discussed. The respective chapters cover the whole spectrum of topics related to the application of technetium in nuclear medicine, electrochemistry of technetium in spent nuclear fuel (including corrosion properties of technetium alloys), and detecting trace amounts of technetium with the aid of electrochemical methods. Providing readers with information not easily obtained in any other single source, the book will appeal to researchers working in nuclear chemistry, nuclear medicine or the nuclear industry.

Chapter 1. Introduction General Information on Technetium
Abstract
In March 1869, the Russian scientist Dmitri Mendeleev presented to the Russian Society of Physics and Chemistry, the idea of the so-called periodic table. He proposed that chemical elements can be arranged in a table according to their periodically varying chemical properties.
Maciej Chotkowski, Andrzej Czerwiński
Chapter 2. Comprehensive Electrochemistry of Tc and Its Periodic Table Neighbors
Abstract
Selected aspects of technetium chemistry are discussed and compared to what is observed for all its neighbours from the periodic table.
Maciej Chotkowski, Andrzej Czerwiński
Chapter 3. Technetium Coordinated by Inorganic Ligands in Aqueous and Nonaqueous Solutions
Abstract
Among the several oxidation states of technetium, which may be observed in organic and inorganic media, the most stable and, consequently, the most important are +4 (as \( {\text{TcO}}_{2} ) \) and +7 (as \( {\text{TcO}}_{4}^{ - } ) \).
Maciej Chotkowski, Andrzej Czerwiński
Chapter 4. Technetium Coordinated by Organic Ligands in Aqueous and Nonaqueous Solutions
Abstract
The electrochemical properties of technetium coordinated by organic ligands in aqueous and nonaqueous solutions are discussed.
Maciej Chotkowski, Andrzej Czerwiński
Chapter 5. Metallic Technetium, Corrosion, Technetium Alloys and Its Behavior in Spent Nuclear Fuel
Abstract
Electrochemical studies on the technetium as a radioactive waste component focus on several aspects related to the waste immobilization and recycling.
Maciej Chotkowski, Andrzej Czerwiński
Chapter 6. Determination of Trace Amounts of Tc by Electrochemical Methods
Abstract
Today, technetium is continuously released into the natural environment as a result of human activity in the fields of the nuclear industry and the nuclear medicine.
