Popis: Nonaqueous low-temperature nitration of UO2 and U3O8 in the system TBP-chlorinated dilu-ent-NO2 was studied. The oxides dissolve to form uranyl nitrate. The influence exerted on the dissolution efficiency by the concentration of the donor solvent in the TBP-tetrachloroethylene system and by additions of water was examined. These dependences pass through a maximum. The influence of temperature on nitration of U3O8 and UO2 was studied, and the activation energies were determined (48.0 and 31.2 kJ mol−1, respectively). The partial orders of the nonaqueous nitration reactions with respect to NO2 were determined for U3O8 and UO2: 1.0 and 1.4, respectively.
