Oil and vinegar : Colloidal plutonium is an important component of Pu aqueous speciation. Pu colloids are problematic in nuclear separations and are a potential transport vector in the environment. Using a mixture of n ‐octanol and trichloroacetic acid a selective and reversible separation of these particles can be achieved by exploiting their surface reactivity. Picture: Li 2 [Pu 38 O 56 Cl 42 (H 2 O) 20 ]⋅15 H 2 O.
