Abstract

Gas-phase conversion of U₃O₈, MoO₃, SrO, ZrO₂, and their mechanical mixtures into water-soluble compounds in an HNO₃ (vapor)–air atmosphere was studied. In the course of the gas-phase conversion, U₃O₈ and SrO transform into water-soluble compounds (nitrates, hydroxynitrates), whereas MoO₃ and ZrO₂ undergo no changes. The principal possibility of separating U from Mo and Zr by gas-phase conversion of the oxides in the HNO₃ (vapor)–air atmosphere was demonstrated.
