Description

Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy, x-ray powder diffraction and thermal analysis show that one example of ''ammonium diuranate'' observed as an intermediate in the U(VI) sol-gel process is a layered hydrous uranium oxide with a proposed structural formula of (NH)42[(UO2)8O4(OH)10]·8H2O, an ammonium ion intercalate. Examples of polyamine intercalation compounds hydrous uranium oxide are also given
