Influence of nitrate ions on the specific surface area of uranium trioxide at 300°C
Influence des ions nitrates sur la chute de surface spécifique du trioxyde d'uranium à 300°C
Abstract
The influence of nitrate ions on the loss in specific surface area of uranium trioxide, obtained by thermal decomposition of ammonium diuranate, was studied at 300°C. This study showed that an increasing content of nitrate ions enhanced the textural evolution of uranium trioxide, giving a faster loss in surface area.
