Abstract

A complex ammonium uranium fluoride was prepared by the reduction of uranium hexafluoride with ammonia in the gaseous phase at 40 deg. C. The very fine product was retained in electrical precipitators and converted into uranium dioxide by pyrohydrolysis with water vapour and hydrogen in the temperature interval between 500 and 600 deg. C. The reaction was followed by differential thermal and thermogravimetrical analysis. The uranium dioxide was analysed for fluorine and oxygen content and the crystal structure was checked by X-ray analysis. Several physico-chemical characteristics, such as specific surface area, particle size and tap density of the powder, have been determined. From the powder, the pellets have been pressed and sintered at 1350 deg. C. Depending on the various conditions of preparation, densities up to 94% of the theoretical values were achieved.

A partir de cette poudre, les pastilles ont ete frittees sous pression a 1350 deg. C. Les densites obtenues atteignaient 94% des valeurs theoriques, suivant les diverses conditions de preparation.

Mediante una pirohidrolisis con vapor de agua e hidrogeno entre 500 y 600 deg. C, transformaron en dioxido de uranio el producto de grano muy fino retenido en precipitadores electricos. Por analisis termodiferencial y termogravimetrico observaron el desarrollo de la reaccion. Determinaron el fluor y el oxigeno contenidos en el dioxido de uranio y examinaron su estructura cristalina por analisis roentgenografico. Evaluaron diversas caracteristicas fisicoquimicas tales como el area superficial especifica, las dimensiones de las particulas y la densidad del polvo vibrado. A partir del polvo, prepararon pastillas prensadas y sinterizadas a 1350 deg. C. Obtuvieron densidades, variables segun las diversas condiciones de preparacion, que alcanzaron hasta el 94% del valor teorico.
