The influence of Uranium-Thorium ratio and heating time during gelation using as a CCl4(NH3) on the Gel quality

  • 1. Yogyakarta Nuclear Research Centre, National Atomic Energy Agency, Yogyakarta (Indonesia)

Description

Gel has been prepared from a uranium-thorium sol using CCI4(NH3) as a gelling medium. The uranium-thorium ratio and the heating time during gelation have been chosen as variables. The sol was prepared by mixing Th(NO3)4 and UO2(NO3)2 solutions, heating the solution at 95oC and adding NH4OH solution drop by drop until colloidal particles were formed. Sol was then fed into a gelation column containing CCI4(NH3), where the sol was transformed into gel. A good gel has properties such as sphere in shape and elastic which it will not crack when it is dropped from 2 metres height. The experimental work resulted a good gel when the percentage of uranium was about 15 - 25 % at heating time of 40 - 50 minutes
