Electrochemical reduction of uranium oxides in LiCl molten salt

  • 1. KAERI, Taejon (Korea, Republic of)

Description

Electrochemical reduction of uranium oxides is described and compared with lithium direct oxide reduction process. This process can eliminate the extra lithium regeneration process and makes the uranium oxide reduction to be simple. XRD spectrum and thermogravimetric analysis of the reduction products showed that UO2 and U3O8 in LiCl contained 2 wt% of Li2O could be reduced electrochemically. Current efficiency and reduction yield will be evaluated from further experiments
