硝酸铀酰在电还原脉冲筛板柱中的电解还原

  • 摘要: 在直径5cm的电解还原脉冲筛板柱中,用30%TBP(煤油)-UO_2(NO_3)_2-HNO_3/N_2H_5NO_3-HNO_3(H_2O)体系,研究了诸因素下U(Ⅵ)电解还原性能。结果表明:在Purex过程1BX柱工艺条件下,阴极电位、有机相U(Ⅵ)浓度、温度、阴/阳极面积比及柱子的特征几何系数等对U(Ⅵ)电解还原有显著的影响。柱内有合适的铀、硝酸及肼的浓度剖面。电解过程中产生的气体对工艺过程无干扰,生成的氢气及叠氮酸远低于规定的安全浓度限。通过调整某些工艺参数,可以有效地控制U(Ⅵ)浓度,以满足铀/钚分离的要求。

     

    Abstract: In 5 cm diameter electrolytic reduction pulsed columns using a dispersed system of uranyl nitrate in 30 volume percent tributyl phosphate and nitrite acid solution containing hydrazine, the behaviors of uranium ( Ⅵ ) electrochemical reduction are extensively investigated under different process conditions. The results obtained for uranium are proved that there is obvious influene of such basic variables as cathode potential, flow rates, U (Ⅵ) concentrations, temperature, ratios of cathode to anode surface aera and characteristic geometry ceeficients ( π = S/V ) on the uranium reduction efficiency. The concentration profiles of U (Ⅳ), HNO_3 and N_2H_5NO_3 are predictively suitable for separation of pluto-nium from uranium. Experiments show that the gases produced in a considerablly smaller volume rate at eletrodes. The contents of hydrogen and hydrazoie acid are far below the safety limit. The concen-trations of U(Ⅳ) to meet the U/Pu separation can be achieved conveniently by varying some parame ters.
