Electrochemical Fluorination for Processing of Used Nuclear Fuel

摘要: A galvanic cell and methods of using the is described for recovery uranium from used nuclear fuel according to an electrofluorination process. The requires no input energy can utilize relatively benign gaseous fluorinating agents. Uranium be recovered in form compound such as hexafluoride, which then converted metallic or UO 2 processed known methodology a useful product, e.g., pellets use commercial production system.
