Basics of Electrorefining in the Fuel Cycle Facility

S&T Accomplishment Report ·
OSTI ID:2998501
The basic electrochemical concepts that are relevant to the Fuel Cycle Facility electrorefiner (FCF ER) are discussed. Key points are developed in the report that equip the reader to examine the literature for the ER process, and these points are clearly identified. Basic electrochemical concepts are presented and definitions are given prior to a discussion of the energetics and rates of electrorefining. A brief explanation of power supply operation for the electrorefining operation is then given, followed by an elementary discussion of chemical equilibrium. With this background information, FCF ER operations are described in terms of typical operations, their sequence, and the attending chemical reactions.
