Description

The objective of the experimental studies reported herein was to demonstrate the laboratory-developed mercury-catalyzed dissolving procedure on a pilot-plant scale by conducting a series of test dissolutions of aluminum-jacketed, unirradiated uranium in the 150-gallon downdraft type semiworks dissolver in 321 Building. It was desired to establish: (1) the effect of the larger-scale operation on time cycle; (2) dissolution rates of aluminum and uranium, (3) controllability of the reactions, and (4) the concentration of mercury catalyst required.
