Popis: International audience; The sintering of uranium oxide powders prepared by hydrothermal conversion of oxalates was studied. A dilatometric study first showed that among the synthesis conditions, only the pH largely impacted the densification, notably through the powders morphology. Three samples (single crystals-pH = 1, microspheres-pH = 2 and nano-powders-pH = 8) were further selected to study their sintering behaviour. Densitometric and granulometric data then allowed establishing sintering maps. For single crystals and microspheres, densities above 96%TD were obtained at 1700°C. In contrast, only 2 to 8 hours at 1500°C were needed to yield comparable results for nano-powders. These observations confirm that the hydrothermal conversion of oxalates can be considered as a promising route for the synthesis of actinide oxides, which can subsequently be sintered directly.
