Abstract

A method for co-conversion of aqueous solutions of one or more heavy metal nitrates is described, wherein thermal decomposition within a temperature range of about 300 to 800/sup 0/C is carried out in the presence of about 50 to 500% molar concentration of ammonium nitrate to total metal.

Method for improved decomposition of metal nitrate solutions

Patent Haas, Paul A. (Knoxville, TN); Stines, William B. (Knoxville, TN)

A method for co-conversion of aqueous solutions of one or more heavy metal nitrates wherein thermal decomposition within a temperature range of about 300.degree. to 800.degree. C. is carried out in the presence of about 50 to 500% molar concentration of ammonium nitrate to total metal.

Method and apparatus for reconditioning waste solutions of the nuclear industry which contain ammonium nitrate

Patent Muller, B.

A method and apparatus are described for reconditioning waste solutions of the nuclear industry which contain ammonium nitrate. The waste solution is continuously sprayed from above into a 300/sup 0/ to 600/sup 0/C hot zone, from the lower end of which the decomposition products are withdrawn and are separated into condensate and exhaust gas. The NO content is reduced by adding oxygen, especially at the exit of the decomposition zone. By the presence of reducing agents, such as CO(NH2)2 or preferably NH3, in the solution to be sprayed, the NO2 content of the decomposition products and the NH4NO3 residue inmore »« less
Method for recovering aluminum fluoride from fluorine-containing aqueous aluminum nitrate solutions

Patent Ishimi, H.; Shimauchi, H.; Tanaka, C.

In a process for converting UF/sub 6/ into UO/sub 2/, the UF/sub 6/ is brought into contact with an aqueous aluminum nitrate solution. The resultant product is solvent extracted with tributyl phosphate to remove uranyl nitrate. The raffinate has a fluorine/aluminum (F/Al) weight ratio within the range of from about 0.5 to about a sufficient quantity of hydrofluoric acid is added to T raffinate to minimize the solubility of aluminum fluoride (AlF/sub 3/) therein and thereby maximize the precipitation potential of AlF/sub 3/. Generally this occurs when sufficient hydrofluoric acid has been added to cause the F/Al weight ratio tomore »« less

Method for producing nitrous oxide by reacting ammonia with a molten nitrate salt of an alkaline earth metal

Patent Pennington, B.T.

This patent describes a continuous method for producing nitrous oxide by the steps of: (a) reacting ammonia with at least one molten nitrate salt of an alkaline earth metal at reaction conditions to produce the nitrous oxide, thereby converting at least a portion of the molten nitrate salt to molten nitrite salt, (b) reconverting the molten nitrite salt to molten nitrate salt by reacting the molten nitrite salt with an oxidizing agent, and (c) repeating steps (a) and (b) in a continuous manner.
