Abstract
The anodic dissolution of uranium dioxide in alkaline carbonate solutions has been studied. Steady-state potentiostatic and cyclic voltammetric measurements have been shown to be consistent with a mechanism that involves a rate-determining two-electron transfer reaction. The presence of insulating uranium(VI) films on the surface at high anodic potentials has been confirmed by the use of ring-disc electrode measurements and characterized by X-ray-diffraction analyses. The dissolution behaviour of the films has been characterized and compared with that of samples of synthetic uranium trioxide and uranyl carbonate.
