Vol.26, No.1, 165-167, 2009 Microwave-assisted dissolution of UO2 with TBP-HNO3 complex
The direct dissolution of UO2 in TBP-HNO3 complex by microwave heating in this study suggests the possibility of dissolving spent nuclear fuels. This new technique offers many benefits for reduction in aqueous and organic waste generation and improved efficiency of chemical processing. The dissolution rate of UO2 particles with TBP-HNO3 complex by microwave assisted heating is highly dependent on the temperature and the particle size.
