Application of Low Melting Metals for Separation of Uranium and Zirconium in a “Fused Chloride—Liquid Alloy” System

Application of Low Melting Metals for Separation of Uranium and Zirconium in a “Fused Chloride—Liquid Alloy” System

Closeness of electrochemical properties of uranium and zirconium makes separation of these metals in pyroelectrochemical reprocessing of spent nuclear fuels a challenging task. Varying electrode material can change metals’ deposition potentials. The study was aimed at assessing the effect of the cat...
