Dissolution behavior of U$$_{3}$$O$$_{8}$$, FeUO$$_{4}$$, and UO$$_{2}$$-Zr-stainless steel system samples generated in an oxidative atmosphere in the presence of malonic acid

Tonna, Ryutaro*; Sasaki, Takayuki*; Okamoto, Yoshihiro  ; Kobayashi, Taishi*

The dissolution behavior of UO$$_{2}$$-Zr-SS samples heated under oxidative conditions, along with the single uranium phases formed in the samples (U$$_{3}$$O$$_{8}$$ and FeUO$$_{4}$$), was investigated through static leaching tests using malonic acid. Malonic acid promoted the dissolution of both U$$_{3}$$O$$_{8}$$ and FeUO$$_{4}$$ solid phases owing to complex formation. The uranium concentrations of U$$_{3}$$O$$_{8}$$ and FeUO$$_{4}$$ increased with malonic acid concentration and matched at steady state. In the absence of malonic acid, the U concentration of FeUO$$_{4}$$ was less than its solubility because of uranium adsorption on an iron hydrolysis solid phase. The uranium concentration after long immersion of the UO$$_{2}$$-Zr-SS system samples could be explained by the behavior of U$$_{3}$$O$$_{8}$$ and FeUO$$_{4}$$. In the absence of malonic acid, U concentration decreased owing to adsorption onto the iron solid phase, similar to the behavior of FeUO$$_{4}$$. In contrast, in the presence of malonic acid, U concentration was consistent with that observed for U$$_{3}$$O$$_{8}$$ and FeUO$$_{4}$$.
