PROCESS OF REDUCING PLUTONIUM TO TETRAVALENT TRIVALENT STATE

Patent Mastick, D.F.

The reduction of hexavalent and tetravalert plutonium ions to the trivalent state in strong nitric acid can be accomplished with hydrogen peroxide. The trivalent state may be stabilized as a precipitate by including oxalate or fluoride ions in the solution. The acid should be strong to encourage the reduction from the plutonyl to the trivalent state (and discourage the opposed oxidation reaction) and prevent the precipitation of plutonium peroxide, although the latter may be digested by increasing the acid concentration. Although excess hydrogen peroxide will oxidize plutonlum to the plutonyl state, complete reduction is insured by gently warming the solutionmore »« less
Process for the production of free-flowing directly compactable uranium dioxide powder with adjustable sintering properties and apparatus for this process

Patent Boerner, P.; Isensee, H.J.; Vietzke, H.

A process is described for the production of pourable, directly compactable uranium dioxide powder by continuous precipitation of uranium peroxide from a sintered uranyl nitrate solution at a pH of 1 to 2.5 with hydrogen peroxide, calcining of the peroxide at 500 to 800/sup 0/C, and subsequent reduction at 550 to 750/sup 0/C. The precipitation solution contains 70 to 150 g/l of uranium and 0.80 g/l of ammonium nitrate and is treated with 15 to 20% aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution in the ratio of U:H/sub 2/O/sub 2/ from 1:1.5 to 1:3 and there is led through the solution a mixturemore »« less
Process for producing sulphur by reducing sulphur dioxide. [Reducing agent is carbon monoxide]

Patent Lindblad, A.R.
PROCESS FOR THE SELECTIVE RECOVERY OF URANIUM DIRECTLY FROM URANIUM-BEARING ORES

Patent Kruse, J.M.

A simple process is outlined for the high recovery of U from low-grade U ores. The process comprises contacting the ore at pH 3 to 9 with a solution of an organic polydentate liquid in a nonaqueous organic solvent, in order to selectively leach the U. The amount of solution used is proportional to the amount of U to be recovered and not to the total amount of ore. Two polydentates which may be used is salicylic acid and uncrosslinked salicylic acidformaldehyde polymer, and others are listed. Several examples of the process are given. (D.L.C.)
METHOD OF REDUCING PLUTONIUM WITH FERROUS IONS

Patent Dreher, J.L.; Koshland, D.E.; Thompson, S.G.; ...

A process is presented for separating hexavalent plutonium from fission product values. To a nitric acid solution containing the values, ferrous ions are added and the solution is heated and held at elevated temperature to convert the plutonium to the tetravalent state via the trivalent state and the plutonium is then selectively precipitated on a BiPO/sub 4/ or LaF/sub 3/ carrier. The tetravalent plutonium formed is optionally complexed with fluoride, oxalate, or phosphate anion prior to carrier precipitation.
