| 1. | Uranyl nitrate was used to fuel Aqueous Homogeneous Reactors in the 1950s.
|
| 2. | Uranyl nitrate can be prepared by reaction of uranium salts with nitric acid.
|
| 3. | Uranyl nitrate is recovered by evaporating the solution.
|
| 4. | Ether was then added in a liquid liquid extraction process to separate the impurities from the uranyl nitrate.
|
| 5. | The resulting " UNH " ( extraction tower to re-extract the uranyl nitrate from the kerosene into deionized water.
|
| 6. | Criticality was reached upon the technicians adding a seventh bucket of an aqueous uranyl nitrate solution to the tank.
|
| 7. | Mallinckrodt Incorporated in St . Louis, Missouri, took the raw ore and dissolved it in nitric acid to produce uranyl nitrate.
|
| 8. | Current designs use nitric acid base solutions ( e . g . uranyl nitrate ) eliminating most of these problems in stainless steels.
|
| 9. | For example, uranyl nitrate, UO 2 ( NO 3 ) 2, is soluble in diethyl ether because the solvent itself acts as a ligand.
|
| 10. | The solid may be obtained by heating uranyl nitrate to 400 �C . Its most commonly encountered polymorph, ?-UO 3, is a yellow-orange powder.
