The technetium isotope (99)Tc is a major fission product from nuclear reactors. Ultimately it is disposed of as radioactive waste since it has few applications outside of scientific research. Geochemical modeling of the dissolution of nuclear waste and of the solubility and speciation of the dissolved radionuclides in groundwater is an important part of the Performance Assessment for the safety of nuclear waste repositories. It relies on the availability of a critically assessed thermodynamic database. The potential of the Tc(VII)/Tc(IV) redox couple is measured here under various chemical conditions to verify the stoichiometries of Tc complexes and determine their stabilities: (i) -log(10)[H(+)] in the range 7.0-10.0, for 0.3, 0.6, and 0.7 M [CO(3)](total); (ii) [CO(3)](total) in the range 0.01-0.6 M at -log(10)[H(+)] approximately 8.6; and (iii) [Tc(VII)]/[Tc(IV] ratios of (6.02 10(-5) M)/(10(-6) M) and (6.02 10(-5) M)/(6.02 10(-5) M) at -log(10)[H(+)] = -9.1 and [CO(3)](total) = 1 M. Assuming that Tc(VII), TcO(4)(-) is the only species which exists under all the above chemical conditions, the potentiometric results can be interpreted by considering the presence of two hydroxide-carbonate monomeric complexes. The hydrolysis equilibrium between these two complexes is Tc(CO(3))(OH)(2) + H(2)O <--> Tc(CO(3))(OH)(3)(-) + H(+) with -log(10)[H(+)](1/2) = 8.69 +/- 0.20, which is consistent with the -8.3 +/- 0.6 corresponding hydrolysis constant of the NEA TDB review. 733 +/- 44 mV/SHE and 575 +/- 60 mV/SHE are measured for the standard potentials of the TcO(4)(-)/Tc(CO(3))(OH)(2), and for the TcO(4)(-)/Tc(CO(3))(OH)(3)(-) redox couples respectively. The corresponding formation constants from TcO(OH)(2) are log(10)K(1,2) = 19.8 +/- 0.5 and log(10)K(1,3) = 10.5 +/- 0.5, to be compared with the 19.3 +/- 0.3 and 11.0 +/- 0.6 values proposed by the NEA TDB review. Note that these values have been converted for the formation reactions described here, thus the given values are not those of the NEA TDB review. However, Tc(CO(3))(OH)(2) is predicted to dominate over a surprisingly large range of chemical conditions. The monomeric character of the Tc(IV) complexes is verified in this study.
