Nuclear reactor core material - of metal oxide particles made by gelling droplets of metal salt soln contg ammonia evolving cpd., in hot alcohol-amine mixt

摘要

The prod. used to extract the anions at the moment of gelation is an amine with =3C in the chain and pref. the solvent in the orb. phase is an alcohol such as ethyl-2-hexanol the amine component being tridecylamine. The metal salt may be e.g. a sol. fo thorium and a soln. of uranium made e.g. by nitric attack of uranium dioxide. Pref. the aq. soln. to be dispersed drop by drop in the org. phase contains at least one metal salt from the group Al, Zr, Hf, Y or the rare earths.
