Crystal Growth Kinetics of the Uranium Peroxide

Abstract The uranium peroxide precipitation is involved in the processing of uranium ores [1]. In order to determine the crystal growth kinetic parameters, an experimental study is performed in a stirred batch reactor over a wide range of experimental conditions. The experimental method adapted to the uranium peroxide crystal growth study consists in the following of hydrogen ion. This article gives the results obtained for the uranium peroxide crystal growth kinetic law. The treatment of the experimental data shows that the crystal growth rate corresponds to a birth and spread mechanism.
