Abstract
Electrochemistry of gadolinium and uranium in LiF–CaF2 (79–21 mol%) melt was studied using reactive Ni electrode and alloying reactions were observed. Deposits of gadolinium and uranium in the form of Gd–Ni and U–Ni intermetallic alloys were obtained after electrolysis by modulated current. Electrolysis of the same parameters was used also in the complex system of LiF–CaF2–UF4–GdF3 to demonstrate feasibility of selective deposition of uranium and therefore its separation from the system. Compact deposit of U–Ni alloy containing only traces of gadolinium was obtained.
