A concentrate produced during the milling process that contains about 80 per cent U3O8 In preparation for uranium enrichment, the yellowcake is converted to uranium hexafloride gas (UF6) In the preparation of natural uranium reactor fuel, yellowcake is processed into purified uranium dioxide Sometimes uranium hexaflouride is produced as an intermediate step in the purification process
Ammonium diuranate, the penultimate uranium compound in U3O8 production, but the form in which mine product was sold until about 1970 See also Uranium oxide concentrate
A concentrate produced during the milling process that contains 80 percent uranium oxide In preparation for uranium enrichment, the yellowcake is converted to uranium hexafluoride is produced gas In the preparation of natural uranium reactor fuel, yellowcake is processed into purified uranium dioxide Sometimes uranium hexafluoride is produced as an intermediate step in the purification process
The mixture of uranium oxides produced after milling uranium ore from a mine It is usually represented by the formula U3O8 If dried at low temperature it is yellow; if at higher temperature it is khaki Uranium is exported from Australia
