HCID 197096Yellowcake

Procedure

There are two means for passing from the uranyl nitrate in solution to the oxide UO3. A first means consists of adding ammonia in order to obtain by precipitation ammonium diuranate (ADU), which is thermally decomposed into UO3. A second means consists of thermally decomposing the uranyl nitrate after dehydration.
