PREPARATION OF URANIUM METAL BY FUSED SALT ELECTROLYSIS

Journal Article · · J. Metals
OSTI ID:4330862

Uranium metal with a purity of about 99.9% was produced on a large scale by fused salt electrolysis with a material efficiency of about 90%. The material efficiency depends mainly on bath composition, electrolysis temperature, electrode smothering, and elutriation during washing of the powder. (auth)
