Abstract

A method for purifying uranium includes forming primary uranyl peroxide precipitates (UOO.4HO). Forming the primary uranyl peroxide precipitates includes obtaining impure uranium dissolved in an acidic solution, evaporating the acidic solution to increase uranium concentration and to form a concentrated solution, mixing a hydrogen peroxide (HO) solution with the concentrated solution in a first container, and forming uranyl peroxide precipitates in the first container. The method includes collecting the uranyl peroxide precipitates and washing and drying the uranyl peroxide precipitates. The method also includes converting the washed and dried uranyl peroxide precipitates into triuranium octoxide (UO).
