Abstract

The invention discloses a method of preparing a ceramic grade uranium dioxide ball. The method sequentially comprises the following steps: carrying out ball milling on uranium oxide, wherein the particle size of the uranium oxide after ball milling is 0.1-0.3 micron; adding the uranium oxide into a polymer monomer, and uniformly stirring to obtain polymer slurry; producing slurry drops by virtue of the polymer slurry; adding the slurry drops into a dispersion column which contains heated carbon tetrachloride or liquid paraffin, and descending the slurry drops to obtain a green body ball in the dispersion column under the surface tension, wherein the temperature in the dispersion column is 80-90 DEG C; washing the green body ball by adopting an ethanol solution; drying the green body ball, and removing an organic matter on the surface of the green body ball to obtain a dry calcined ball; and carrying out reduction sintering on the dry calcined ball in a hydrogen atmosphere to obtain the ceramic grade UO2 ball. The method is simple in whole process, convenient in realization, small in introduced impurities, high in purity of the prepared UO2 ball and beneficial to popularizing and applying the UO2 ball in the field of nuclear technology.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a nuclear material manufacturing process, in particular to a method for preparing ceramic grade uranium dioxide balls. Background technique [0002] In the field of nuclear technology, UO 2 Balls have different uses according to different sizes, among them, in the field of nuclear technology, UO with a diameter of 0.5 ~ 3mm 2 Balls are the most widely used, such as: UO with a diameter of 0.5mm 2 Balls can be used as fuel for high temperature gas-cooled reactors, UO with a diameter of 0.8~1.0mm 2 Balls can be used in the development of neutron detectors. Currently preparing UO 2 When balling, the operation process is complicated, and more impurities are introduced, UO 2 The purity of the ball cannot be guaranteed and this will affect the UO 2 The promotion and application of balls in the field of nuclear technology. Contents of the invention [0003] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies o...
