ENTRY: YELLOWCAKE

REQUESTED: REFINEMENT FROM ORE

.

Carnotite is mined and treated with hydrochloric acid. The acidic aqueous layer is treated with a 10.5% solution of sodium hypochlorite to generate chlorine gas, and is then brought back to a pH of 0 with hydrochloric acid. Ammonium hydroxide is added and the solution filtered. The insoluble precipitate is put in a sodium carbonate solution and heated and once again filtered. The filtrate is brought to a pH of 3 with hydrochloric acid and then treated with hydrogen peroxide. The solution is filtered and the precipitate dried. Obtained is uranyl peroxide, a form of yellowcake as the precipitate from the last filtration.
