Abstract
The description of the H2O–HNO3–UO2(NO3)2–TBP–diluent system required calculation of the activity coefficients of uranyl nitrate and nitric acid in mixed solutions. Three methods for determining the activity coefficients were considered: from the experimental data, using Pitzer’s equation, and using Zdanovskii’s rule with Mikulin’s equations. All the three methods lead to similar results. The relative root-mean-square deviation is 7–10%, but it depends on correct evaluation of the error. The third method will allow calculation of the activity coefficients in multicomponent solutions.
