Mineralogical characterization of uranium yellow cake concentrates
Creators
Description
Uranium yellow cake concentrates have been analyzed and characterized mineralogically by means of differential thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction, infrared spectra and wet chemical methods. On the basis of mineralogical methods of characterization, the following four major structural types of yellow cake may be classified: Uranyl Hydroxide Hydrate, UO2(OH)2nH2O; Basic Uranyl Sulfate Hydrate, (UO2)x(SO4)y(OH)s(x-y).nH2O; Sodium Para-Uranate, Na5U7O24 and Uranyl Peroxide Hydrate, UO4.nH2O. In this paper conditions of yellow cake preparation and characterization are described, along with discussion of significance of structural types to the physical and chemical properties of yellow cake production
