Title: AMMONIUM DIURANATE PRECIPITATION WITH ANHYDROUS AMMONIA

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4275792

Ammonium diuranate has been precipitated from nitric acid solutions by the addition of anhydrpus ammonia on both laboratory and production scales. This process produced more dense and morc rapidly filtered precipitates than those formed by the addition of aqueous amonia or slurried calcium hydroxide. Thc filtrates from the anhydrous ammonia process were lower in uranium content than those obtained by the addition of the other reagents. Processing equipment and precipitate characteristics are discussed. (auth)
