Abstract

The Pitzer treatment is employed to estimate activity and osmotic coefficients for these aqueous mixtures from literature data. A convenient formalism is presented for the inclusion of electrically neutral species such as undissociated HNO3in the treatment. The water vapor pressure and the solubility of uranyl nitrate hexahydrate in HNO3could be fitted reasonably well with parameters derived from solutions of the separate components. Isopiestic data for NaNO3 - UO2(NO3)2 mixtures required one mixture parameter. Stoichiometric activity coefficients and water activities are generated for UO2(NO3)2 - HNO3mixtures from the derived parameters.
