PROCESS AND EQUIPMENT FOR CONTINUOUS PRODUCTION OF ELECTROLYTIC URANIUM DIOXIDE Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: nuclear technology. SUBSTANCE: process is developed to win electrolytic uranium dioxide and makes it feasible to carry out cycle of solution-electrolysis continuously at temperature lower than usually. This is achieved as solution and electrolysis are conducted simultaneously in different sections of equipment with organization of circulation of solution between them. Mole fraction of uranyl chloride is kept in limits between 35- 72%. Chlorine utilized in process circulates inside and outside of equipment with insufficient addition of fresh chlorine. EFFECT: production of electrolytic uranium dioxide at temperature lower than usual. 5 cl, 9 dwg
