摘要
The effect of the oxidation temperature of sintered UO2 pellets on the powder properties of U3O8 was studied in the temperature range 250-900 A degrees C in air. The U3O8 was obtained at 450 A degrees C after 180 min and its particle size and surface area are respectively, 35 A mu m and 0.7 m(2)/g. The reduction of the U3O8 powder resulted in UO2 after 30 min with a surface area of 0.8 m(2)/g. This value was improved more than 3.5 times by applying five alternating oxidation-reduction cycles.
