Technetium-99 is a high yield (~6% fission yield) fission product and long-lived (2.13×10 5  year half-life) component of nuclear waste that will be disposed of in a geological repository. Some  99 Tc has been released into the environment due to nuclear fuel and weapon production activities at sites such as Hanford, WA. Strongly complexing ligands such as ethylenediamine- N , N , N ′, N ′-tetraacetic acid (EDTA) are known to increase Tc(IV) solubility and mobility in environmental systems and an accurate quantification of the complexation of Tc(IV) with EDTA is important for predicting its behavior in a geological repository. A liquid–liquid extraction system utilizing 0.2 M TOPO in dodecane was used to measure the stability constants of Tc(IV)-EDTA in 0.50  m  NaNO 3  at variable temperatures (14.0±0.1, 25.0±0.1, and 32.0±0.1°C). The acid dependence of the apparent stability constants in the p C  H  range of 2.00–2.70 indicated the formation of TcO(EDTA) 2−  (log β  101 =17.9±0.3, 25.0±0.1°C) and a protonated complex TcO(H)(EDTA) −  (log β  111 =20.5±0.1, 25.0±0.1°C). The associated thermodynamic parameters Δ r  G  101 =−101.7±0.4 kJ·mol −1 , Δ r  H  101 =−47±9 kJ·mol −1 , Δ r  S  101 =179±36 J·mol −1 ·K −1 , Δ r  G  111 =−117.2±0.3 kJ·mol −1 , Δ r  H  111 =−23±5 kJ·mol −1 , and Δ r  S  111 =315±63 J·mol −1 ·K −1  (0.50  m  NaNO 3 , 25.0±0.1°C) were determined by van’t Hoff analysis. The formation of each Tc(IV)–EDTA complex is exothermic and present favorable entropy terms.
