Abstract

Abstract

Ceramic UO₂ spherites with diameter of 2-3mm are prepared from depleted uranium by Sol-Gel method.The whole process includes incineration,dissolution,mixing,gelatinization,aging,washing,dry incineration,reducing sintering,and optimization.The physical and chemical analysis results indicate that the inner structure of the UO₂ spherite is compact and homogeneous,which density is 97±2% T.D.;The content of impurity is low;The O/U is 2.00±0.01;The average diameter is 2.6 mm;The sphericity is less than 1.10,and the average sphericity is 1.06.
