Artigo IPEN-doc 20929 Uranium electrodeposition using direct potential technique in less acidic aqueous media2014 - SALIBA-SILVA, ADONIS M.; OLIVEIRA, ENEAS T. de; DURAZZO, MICHELANGELOElectrodeposition of uranium is a common practice to create samples for alpha spectrometry and it could be an alternative way to produce irradiation LEU targets to fabricate radiopharmaceuticals as 99Mo used for cancer diagnosis. Usually electrodeposition of uranium uses ionic or aqueous solutions to produce uranium deposits in less acidic electrolytes (pH>2.5). During uranium electrodeposition, there is a high competition with H2 evolution, once cathodic potentials are very high. In less acidic electrolyte the electrodeposition is uranyl hydroxyl and uranium oxides compounds, formed directly from uranyl (U-VI) structure. A reliable regression equation (R2=0.836) for alpha emission activity of uranium deposition was obtained, based on cell temperature and electrodeposition time. The deposition has oxide/hydroxide nature, acting as insulator during electrochemical process. The maximum level of deposited uranium, in terms of alpha activity, was around 34 Bq.cm-2 (-1.8 VAg/AgCl, 2000 s, 60°C). In this condition, the inferred maximum amount of uranium was ~5.4 mg [U] /cm2 , which might be interesting to build probe samples to simulate irradiation targets.Artigo IPEN-doc 18821 Uranium electrodeposition for irradiation targets2013 - SALIBA SILVA, A.M.; GARCIA, R.H.L.; BERTIN, E.; CARVALHO, E.F.U. de; DURAZZO, M.
