Electrode processes during deposition of uranous-uranic oxide from molten salt electrolytes

Description

Processes during cathodic deposition and anodic dissolution of uranous-uranic oxide from molten salt media have been studied in the temperature range 723-1D63 K both in inert gas atmosphere and in the air using voltammetric and chronopotentiometric methods. Interaction of mono-, di- and chlorouranates with molten chlorides of alkali metals has been studied. It is shown that two types of ions are present in solutions: UO3Cl- and UO22+. A scheme of electrochemical separation of uranous-uranic oxide is suggested: UO22++2UO3Cl-+2e reversible UO3O8+2Cl-
