    摘要: A process for treating a particulate uranium oxide composition containing ammonium diuranate precursors such as uranyl fluoride and uranyl nitrate, along with possible impurities, is disclosed. The process comprises the steps of (a) contacting the composition with a sufficient amount of an ammonium hydroxide solution to convert the ammonium diuranate precursors to ammonium diuranate, and (b) heating the composition under a controlled atmosphere at a temperature sufficient to dry the composition, sublime any ammonium fluoride present, and convert the ammonium diuranate to uranium dioxide. In a first modification of the invention, there is practiced the additional step of moving the composition, preferably by mechanically agitating the composition, prior to the heating step, or during the heating step, or both prior to and during the heating step, for a sufficient time to produce rounded agglomerates in the form of a readily flowable powder. In another modification of the invention, there are practiced the additional steps of mechanically agitating the composition and screening the composition prior to heating. These additional steps produce rounded agglomerates of the composition in a desired size distribution.

    摘要: In a first step, uranium hexafluoride gas is reacted with steam in a first region of a vessel. In a second step, the oxyfluoride UO.sub.2 F.sub.2 obtained in the first step is converted to UO.sub.2 in a two-stage reduction process in which it is first contacted with a mixture of hydrogen gas and steam in one zone of the second region of the vessel, then contacted with the hydrogen gas in another zone of the second region.

    摘要: An improved process for the conversion of gaseous uranium hexafluoride to a uranium oxide rich composition in the presence of an active flame in a reaction zone is achieved by introducing a first gaseous reactant comprising a mixture of uranium hexafluoride and an oxygen-containing carrier gas and a second gaseous reactant comprising a reducing gas, the reactants being separated by a shielding gas as introduced to the reaction zone. The shielding gas temporarily separates the gaseous reactants and temporarily prevents substantial mixing and reacting of the gaseous reactants. The flame occurring in the reaction zone is maintained away from contact with the inlet introducing the mixture to the reaction zone. The process also includes introducing an oxygen-containing gas as a third gaseous reactant at a time when the uranium hexafluoride conversion to uranium dioxide is substantially complete resulting in oxidizing the uranium oxide composition to a higher oxide of uranium and conversion of the residual reducing gas to its oxidized form. During the process there is practiced the improvement of introducing an atomized fluid having a high latent heat of evaporation so that the atomized fluid directly enters the reaction zone and the introduction can be made at a location so that the atomized fluid enters the primary flame, the secondary flame, or both the primary and secondary flames, or downstream from the secondary flame. The atomized fluid can be introduced alone or with a carrier gas such as an oxygen-containing gas.

    摘要: A two stage fluid bed process for converting UF6 to UO2 is provided. In the first stage UF6 is converted, preferably in two separate fluid beds, to U3O8 by first forming UO2F2 solids and treating the UO2F2 with steam to produce U3O8. The U3O8 is reduced at relatively low temperatures i.e., at about 450*C. to about 500*C., in a second stage to uranium dioxide.

    摘要: AN INTEGRATED PROCESS FOR FIBRICATING URANIUM DIOXIDE STRUCTURES OF DESIRED SHAPE, DENSITY AND GRAIN SIZE FROM ENRICHED URANIUM HEXAFLUORIDE IS PRESENTED. URANIUM HEXAFLUORIDE IS REACTED WITH A REDUCING GAS AND AN OXYGENCONTAINING CARRIER GAS IN A REDUCTION-HYDROLYSIS REACTION IN AN ACTIVE FLAME TO YEILD A URANIUM DIOXIDE RICH POWDER OF HIGH SURFACE AREA WITH FLUORIDE IMPURITIES. THE POWDER IS SEPARATED FROM THE GAS STREAM AFTER THE REACTION AND IS PREPRESSED TO A GIVEN SHAPE BY APPLICATION OF PRESSURE AND THEN BROKEN INTO FREE FLOWING PARTICLES OF A SELECTED SIZE RANGE BY GRANULATION. PARTICLES OF POWDER OUTSIDE THE SELECTED SIZE RANGE ARE SCREENED OUT AND CAN BE COMBINED WITH SUBSEQUENT POWDER PRODUCTION FOR PREPRESSING. THE GRANULATED POWDER IS DEFLUORINATED BY HEATING UNDER A CONTROLLED ATMOSPHERE SO THAT THE HIGH SURFACE AREA OF THE POWDER IS PRESERVED. THE DEFLUORINATED POWDER IS THEN PRESSED INTO A STRUCTURE OF DESIRE SHAPE AND SINTERED UNDER A CONTROLLED ATMOSPHERE TO YIELD A CERAMIC STRUCTURE OF DESIRED DENSITY AND GRAIN SIZE. THE GAS STREAM FROM THE REACTION OF THE URANIUM HEXAFLUORIDE IS TREATED TO CONDENSE THE HYDROGEN FLUORIDE AND WATER VAPOR AS AQUEOUS HYDROFLUORIDE ACID. THE PROCESS OF THIS INVENTION CAN BE USED WITH OXIDES OF URANIUM OF HIGH SURFACE AREA IN ANY STATE OF OXIDATION FROM URANIUM DIOXIDE (UO2) TO URANIUM TRITAOCTOXIDE (U3O8) INCLUDING OXIDES PRODUCED BY A POST OXIDATION PROCESS CONVERTING THE URANIUM DIOXIDE RICH POWDER TO THE HIGHER OXIDE OF URANIUM.
