Abstract
The behavior of uranyl ions in molten potassium polymolybdates at 1073 -1173 K in air is studied by voltammetry and chronopotentiometry. An e xchange reaction occurs between the electrolysis products, i.e., UO2+/ -x and MoO2-y, in which MoO2 acts as an O-2-acceptor. The conditions a re found that enable me O/U ratio in UO2+/-x, to be controlled from 1. 981 to 2.105 by electrolysis of polymolybdate melts.
