“…In order to further investigate the use of organic solvents to prepare uranium metal, the electrochemical properties of U(IV) and U(VI) species (Cs 2 UCl 6 and Cs 2 UO 2 Cl 4 ) were studied in organic media containing tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate ((TBA)(BF 4 )) [ 88 ]. U(IV) was studied in phenanthrene/(TBA)(BF 4 ) (85/15 wt%), naphtalene/(TBA)(BF 4 ) (90/10 wt%) and diphenyl/(TBA)(BF 4 ) (86/14 wt%).…”

Synthetic diversity in the preparation of metallic uranium

et al. 2022

Uranium metal is associated with several aspects of nuclear technology; it is used as fuel for research and power reactors, targets for medical isotope productions, explosive for nuclear weapons and precursors in synthetic chemistry. The study of uranium metal at the laboratory scale presents the opportunity to evaluate metallic nuclear fuels, develop new methods for metallic spent fuel reprocessing and advance the science relevant to nuclear forensics and medical isotope production. Since its first isolation in 1841, from the reaction of uranium chloride and potassium metal, uranium metal has been prepared by solid-state reactions and in solution by electrochemical, chemical and radiochemical methods. The present review summarizes the methods outlined above and describes the chemistry associated with each preparation.

“…The authors suggested that the phenanthrene/(TBA)(BF 4 ) system could be used for the preparation of other actinide metals (Np, Pu, Am) using Cs 2 NpCl 6 , Cs 2 PuCl 6 , PuCl 3 and AmCl 3 as precursors [ 88 ].…”

Potential Application of Ionic Liquids for Electrodeposition of the Material Targets for Production of Diagnostic Radioisotopes

2020

An overview of the reported electrochemistry studies on the chemistry of the element for targets for isotope production in ionic liquids (ILs) is provided. The majority of investigations have been dedicated to two aspects of the reactive element chemistry. The first part of this review presents description of the cyclotron targets properties, especially physicochemical characterization of irradiated elements. The second part is devoted to description of the electrodeposition procedures leading to obtain elements or their alloys coatings (e.g., nickel, uranium) as the targets for cyclotron and reactor generation of the radioisotopes. This review provides an evaluation of the role ILs can have in the production of isotopes.
