F. Gelebart et al., INFLUENCE OF NITRATE IONS ON THE SPECIFIC SURFACE-AREA OF URANIUM TRIOXIDE AT 300-DEGREES-C, Comptes rendus de l'Academie des sciences. Serie 2, Mecanique, physique, chimie, sciences de l'univers, sciences de la terre, 317(9), 1993, pp. 1175-1178
The influence of nitrate ions on the loss in specific surface area of
uranium trioxide, obtained by thermal decomposition of ammonium diuran
ate, was studied at 300-degrees-C. This study showed that an increasin
g content of nitrate ions enhanced the textural evolution of uranium t
rioxide, giving a faster loss in surface area.
