100% recovery of uranium from pyrolytic carbon-coated spheroids of uranium dicarbide has been accomplished by an aqueous electrolytic process at the small scale laboratory level. This result was obtained in a system which circulated 1 molar nitric acid through a thin bed of the spheres. The bed was supported between a glass frit and the anode, with which the bed was in contact. The anode was a spiral of platinum wire; the cathode was a grid of titanium wire. Current density was about 0.2 amp/cm2 based on geometric surface area calculated from the average particle size of 150 microns. Initial flow rate was about 1.3 ml/cm2/sec. Reaction temperature was 72-82°C; time was 15 hours. At 1/5 the above current density and at the same temperature recovery was smaller and was independent of concentration of nitric acid over the range 1-4 molar; also recovery in 1 molar ammonium nitrate was about the same as in 1 molar HNO3. About a 100-fold increase in recovery was obtained by going from a convection stirred cell at 90°C to the pumped type of cell at 54°C using ammonium nitrate as the electrolyte.
