Abstract

Kinetics of formation of intrinsic colloids by tetravelent metal ions, namely, Th(IV), Hf(IV) and Pu(IV) have been studied using the dynamic light scattering technique. The milli-molar solutions of Hf(IV) and Th(IV) were prepared at varying pH (2-4) and ionic strength (0-0.01 M) and the samples were subjected to dynamic light scattering measurements at regular intervals for few days. The results showed that the size of intrinsic colloids varies with pH and ionic strength. In the case of Pu(IV) the concentration of aqueous solutions was 4.5×10−5 M.
