Electrocrystallization of UO2±X from K2MoO4-K2Mo2O7-UO2MoO4 molten salt

Description

The behavior of uranyl ions in molten potassium polymolybdates at 1073-1173 K in air is studied by voltammetry and chronopotentiometry. An exchange reaction occurs between the electrolysis products, i.e., UO2±X and MoO2-y, in which MoO2 acts as an O2- acceptor. The conditions are found that enable the O/U ratio in UO2±X to be controlled from 1.981 to 2.105 by electrolysis of polymolybdate melts
