Abstract
ABSTRACTThe dissolution rate of unirradiated uranium dioxide was studied in batch experiments as a function of hydrogen peroxide concentration (from 10−5 to 10−3 mol dm−3). Unirradiated UO2(s) was used in order to differentiate surface chemical processes from radiolytic effects. Dissolution rates were determined from both uranium release and hydrogen peroxide consumption. Results showed that H2O2consumption rate was higher than UO2 dissolution rate. This observation may indicate that the overall UO2 oxidative dissolution process would be controlled by the dissolution of the oxidized solid surface. The calculated hydrogen peroxide reaction order was 1 in the H2O2 concentration range from 10−5 to 10−4 mol dm−3, while at higher concentrations no clear dependence was observed.
