Electrodeposition of uranium in stirred liquid cadmium cathode

Electrochemical behaviors of uranium and plutonium at simultaneous recoveries into liquid cadmium cathodes

“…It was reported that dendritic deposit formation was indicated by a sharp LCC potential deviation in the case of collecting uranium into LCC [12]. In the present experiments, no such significant deviation was observed.…”

“…Additionally, uranium has a tendency to form dendritic deposits on a cathode [12]. The uranium dendrite formed on the LCC may cause an electrical short circuit with cell components, and may also act as a solid cathode that collects only uranium.…”

Electrochemical and Thermodynamic Properties of EuCl3 and EuCl2 in an Equimolar NaCl-KCl Melt

“…The values of the ipT function, obtained by means of (9) and (10), and used in conjunction with (8) made it possible to calculate the standard rate for charge transfer. The influence of the temperature on the standard rate constant ks of the electrode reaction (1) is presented in the Table 3.…”

Separation characteristics of a spent fuel surrogate in the molten salt electrorefining process

“…However, there are still a few fundamental obstacles to be overcome such as understanding the interaction among the species in a molten salt, microstructural change of the deposits according to the processing parameters and its effect on the total yield. Furthermore the systematic comparisons of the electrorefining characteristics of the REs in a chloride and fluoride molten salt have not been reported [3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. Hence in this study, a series of electrorefining processes was performed on a spent fuel surrogate to obtain the optimum processing parameters for enhancing the partitioning efficiency of the components.…”
