REDUCTION OF URANIUM OXIDE

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4669002
Uranium oxides, including UO/sub 2/, U/sub 3/O/sub 8/, UO/sub 3/, and ttheir mixtures, are heated together with molten magnesium under an inert atmosphere. The excess magnesium is filtered off and the residue is heated with molten aluminum forming an aluminum--uranium alloy. The alloy is filtered off and the uranium is easily separated from the magnesium oxide. Uranium is recovered either as the metal or as a high-uranium-- aluminum alloy. (C.E.S.)
