CHEMICAL BEHAVIOR OF URANIUM AND THORIUM IN FUSED SALTS. Second Annual Report' Report No. 8 (Final)

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4188499

The chemical behavior of uranium was studied in the birary eutectic LiCl (59 mole%)--KCl (41 mole %) and the ternary eutectic MgCl/sub 2/ (50 mole%)--NaCl (30 mole%)-KCl (20 mole%) at 450 ction prod- C. The U(III)-- U(O) potential and the U(IV)-- U(III) redox potential were measured coulometrically in MgCl/sub 2/-- NaCl--KCl. The polarographic behavior of U(III) and U(IV) in LiCl--KCl was studied. The polarography and potentiometry of solutions of uranyl species prepared in both eutectics were studied. (C.J.G.)
