초록

Ultrasound-assisted dissolution of U3O8 powder in carbonate solution was explored to determine if and how ultrasound act during the dissolution. The variation of U3O8 solid particles and uranyl complexes under ultrasound treatment and magnetic stirring was observed in carbonate media. The results show that the use of ultrasound can increase the solubility and dissolution rate of U3O8 powder than that under magnetic stirring. The crush of U3O8 particles and the reduction of the activation energy (Ea, kJ/ mol) of U3O8 dissolution reaction were observed, which both play an important role in the ultrasonicassisted dissolution of U3O8 in carbonate-peroxide solution. Meanwhile, there is no observation of the ultrasound effect on the distribution of uranyl species and hydrolysis of uranyl complexes during the ultrasound treatment in carbonate-peroxide solution. Although the generation of $OH radicals under ultrasound (22 ± 2 kHz) was observed, the oxidation of $OH had little effect on the dissolution of U3O8 in the carbonate-peroxide solution system.

Abstract

Ultrasound-assisted dissolution of U3O8 powder in carbonate solution was explored to determine if and how ultrasound act during the dissolution.

The crush of U3O8 particles and the reduction of the activation energy (Ea, kJ/ mol) of U3O8 dissolution reaction were observed, which both play an important role in the ultrasonicassisted dissolution of U3O8 in carbonate-peroxide solution. Meanwhile, there is no observation of the ultrasound effect on the distribution of uranyl species and hydrolysis of uranyl complexes during the ultrasound treatment in carbonate-peroxide solution. Although the generation of $OH radicals under ultrasound (22 ± 2 kHz) was observed, the oxidation of $OH had little effect on the dissolution of U3O8 in the carbonate-peroxide solution system.
