Conversion of depleted uranium hexafluoride to a solid uranium compound

Patent Rothman, Alan B [Willowbrook, IL]; Graczyk, Donald G [Lemont, IL]; Essling, Alice M [Elmhurst, IL]; ...

A process for converting UF.sub.6 to a solid uranium compound such as UO.sub.2 and CaF. The UF.sub.6 vapor form is contacted with an aqueous solution of NH.sub.4 OH at a pH greater than 7 to precipitate at least some solid uranium values as a solid leaving an aqueous solution containing NH.sub.4 OH and NH.sub.4 F and remaining uranium values. The solid uranium values are separated from the aqueous solution of NH.sub.4 OH and NH.sub.4 F and remaining uranium values which is then diluted with additional water precipitating more uranium values as a solid leaving trace quantities of uranium in amore » « less

Methods for conversion of carbohydrates in ionic liquids to value-added chemicals

Patent Zhao, Haibo [The Woodlands, TX]; Holladay, Johnathan E [Kennewick, WA]; Zhang, Zongchao C [Norwood, NJ]

Methods are described for converting carbohydrates including, e.g., monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides in ionic liquids to value-added chemicals including furans, useful as chemical intermediates and/or feedstocks. Fructose is converted to 5-hydroxylmethylfurfural (HMF) in the presence of metal halide and acid catalysts. Glucose is effectively converted to HMF in the presence of chromium chloride catalysts. Yields of up to about 70% are achieved with low levels of impurities such as levulinic acid.
