AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The uranium dioxide powder produced by the dry process has a low oxygen-uranium ratio, and hydrogen and water vapor enter the post-processing process, affecting product quality. It is difficult to achieve continuous collection and prevent water vapor from entering the powder collection container.

Method used

A uranium dioxide powder stabilization system was designed, including an isolation unit, a pretreatment air intake unit, and a stabilized air intake unit. The isolation unit was set up to prevent hydrogen and water vapor from entering the treatment unit. The pretreatment air intake unit was used to remove water vapor and hydrogen from the uranium dioxide powder. The stabilized air intake unit adjusted the oxygen-uranium ratio. Continuous treatment was achieved by connecting multiple stabilization systems in parallel.

Benefits of technology

The oxygen-to-uranium ratio of uranium dioxide powder is improved, the flexibility and safety of the production line are enhanced, continuous production is achieved, and the impact of hydrogen and water vapor on product quality is avoided.

Abstract

The present invention proposes a uranium dioxide powder stabilization system, a post-processing system, and a stabilization treatment method. The uranium dioxide powder stabilization system includes a treatment unit, a feed unit, and a stabilized air intake unit. The feed unit is connected to the treatment unit, through which uranium dioxide powder enters the treatment unit. The stabilized air intake unit is connected to the treatment unit, and the stabilized air intake unit introduces an oxygen-containing gas mixture into the treatment unit to stabilize the uranium dioxide powder in the treatment unit. The system is characterized in that it also includes an isolation unit connected to the feed unit. The isolation unit controls the opening and closing of the feed unit and prevents hydrogen and / or water vapor in the feed unit from entering the treatment unit when closed. The uranium dioxide powder stabilization system proposed in this application, by providing an isolation unit, prevents hydrogen and water vapor in the preparation unit from entering the treatment unit, thereby improving the oxygen-uranium ratio of uranium dioxide and achieving continuous treatment.
