Oxygen potential studies on hypostoichiometric uranium-cerium mixed oxide

  • 1. Reactor Research Centre, Kalpakkam (India). Radiochemistry Programme

Description

Oxygen potential measurements on (U, Ce)Osub(2-x) with Ce/U+Ce ratios of 0.2 to 0.5 were carried out at 1073 and 1173 K by a gas equilibration method employing H2O/H2 carrier gas. A new wet chemical method based on potentiometric titrations was used to determine and cross check the O/M ratios of the equilibrated samples. Lattice parameters of stoichiometric oxides were determined by X-ray diffraction. The oxygen potentials and their dependence on O/M and composition are discussed and compared with available literature data. (orig.)
