URANIUM PURIFICATION PROCESS
Abstract
A method for the preparation of a diethyl ether solution of uranyl nitrate is described. Previously the preparation of such ether solutions has been difficult and expensive, since crystalline uranyl nitrate hexahydrate dissolves very slowly in ether. An improved method for effecting such dissolution has been found, and it comprises adding molten uranyl nitrate hexahydrate at a temperature of 65 to 105 deg C to the ether while maintaining the temperature of the ether solvent below its boiling point.
