摘要: 基于多物理场耦合软件COMSOL,在LiCl-KCl熔盐体系中建立以电解槽为阳极、双石墨棒为阴极的氯化铀电沉积行为三维数值模型。通过研究熔盐中铀离子的运动情况以及对阴极几何形状的实时计算,得到了铀电沉积的沉积层厚度随时间的变化情况,得到了铀离子阴极沉积行为与阴极表面的位置、熔盐铀离子浓度、反应温度、平均电流密度之间的关系。研究中,还将模拟结果与氯化铀熔盐电解实验数据进行对比,计算与实验结果拟合良好,证明铀电沉积行为模拟的可靠性,模拟结果可为乏燃料干法后处理中铀的提取提供设计参考。Abstract: Based on multi-physics coupling software COMSOL, a three-dimensional numerical model of uranium chloride electrodeposition behavior, in which the electrolytic cell serves as anode and the double graphite rod serve as cathode, was established in LiCl-KCl molten salt system. With the research in the movement of uranium ions and the real-time calculation of the cathode geometry, the change of the thickness of uranium electrodeposition with time is worked out. The relationship between the uranium deposition behavior and the position of the cathode surface, molten uranium ion concentration, reaction temperature, average current density is obtained. In this research, the simulation results are compared with the experimental data of uranium chloride electrolysis. The calculations are well fitted to the experimental results, and the reliability of the uranium electrodeposition behavior simulation is proved. The simulation results can provide a design reference for the extraction of the uranium from the spent fuel by dry reprocessing.
