The general chemistry of technetium has been well documented [8, 10, 23]. This review will
present a very brief discussion of the general chemistry of technetium and some of the compounds relevant
to the work presented in Chapter 5 of this paper. Specifically, it will cover in more depth the studies found
in the literature on the solubility, reduction, adsorption, and coprecipitation of TcO
4-
in both alkaline and
neutral solutions, under oxic and anoxic conditions. Additional interesting information concerning the
chemistry of Tc is found in Appendix
