This step took usually 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the scale, and was followed by multiple immersions in deionized water for total time periods of 6 to 15 minutes. 4. The sample was etched in a stirred 5.33M ferric-chloride solution for 2 to 5 minutes at 40°C to roughen the surface.

1992/1/1· Abstract. The production of reactive metals by Direct Oxide Reduction (DOR) process using calcium in a molten calcium salt system generates significant amount of contaminated waste as calcium oxide saturated calcium chloride salt mix with calcium oxide content of up to 15 wt. pct. Fused salt electrolysis of a simulated salt mix has been carried out
Like uranium, metallic plutonium is usually obtained by high-temperature reduction of a halide salt (plutonium tetrafluoride or plutonium trifluoride) with calcium metal. Much use is also made of the so-called direct oxidation-reduction process, whereby PuO 2 is reduced with calcium metal to plutonium metal and a calcium oxide slag:

uranium oxide reduction takes place at about 1000 C. In addition as shown in Table I, a direct comparison with a crucible comprising 100% by weight of calcium oxide shows that the present invention comprising calcium oxide in a range between about 50 and 75
A method and apparatus are provided for reducing uranium oxide with magnesium to form uranium metal. The reduction is carried out in a molten-salt solution of density greater than 3.4 grams per cubic centimeter, thereby allowing the uranium product to sink and the magnesium oxide byproduct to float, consequently allowing separation of product and byproduct.
developed for preparation of uranium metal directly from oxide, the ready availability of high purity oxides makes such a process of interest. An investigation dealing with an approach to this problem is reported here. The metals that have received major attention
The recovered uranium had a metal fraction greater than 98.8 % and contained no residual salt. Recovery of metallic uranium has been achieved by electrolytic reduction of uranium oxide in a molten LiCl–Li2O electrolyte at 650 °C, followed by the removal of …
Calcium Oxide (CaO) is used in production of, copper, zinc, lead, silver, nickel, gold, uranium, or even to segregate impurities by means of flotation of different metallic salts. To conclude, Calcium Oxide has other utilities as corrosion protector and neutralization of acids used in the metallurgy industry.

Calcium is preferred for preparation of small batches of uranium metal where higher reduction efficiency outweighs the higher cost of calcium. Reduction is effected by providing a powdered mixture of UF 4 and the reductant metal in a bo-type reactor and heating the charged reactor until an exothermic reduction reaction is initiated.
