UPGRADES IN THE FIELD OF MATERIALS PROCESSING Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: uranium-bearing fuel materials processing upgrade. SUBSTANCE: the presented group of inventions offers methods and devices of processing of uranium-bearing fuel materials, for example, uranic ores, regenerate uranium, uranium-bearing wastes and uranium-bearing fuel. The processes include fluorination of the uranium-bearing material and its separation from other materials based on their ionization with return of the non-ionized fluorine-bearing material in the cycle. As a result of it there is a possibility to produce metal uranium and-or plutonium, and-or the fission products. The technical result is expansion of the range of potential materials for the process and decrease of complexity and number of stages included in the in the process. EFFECT: the group of inventions allows to expand the range of potential materials for the process, to decrease its complexity and number of stages. 34 cl, 7 dwg
