ELECTROCHEMICAL DEVICE FOR RECOVERING URANIUM

摘要

The present invention relates to an electrochemical device and, more specifically, to an electrochemical device for recovering uranium from a used nuclear fuel, including an electrolytic cell containing a solution of molten salt electrolytes; a porous membrane for dividing the electrolytic cell into two chambers and for limiting the flow of the electrolyte solution; a filter for filtering particles from the current of the electrolyte solution; an oxidization electrode inserted to the molten salt on one side of the electrolytic cell; and a reduction electrode inserted to the molten salt on the other side of the electrolytic cell. The electrochemical device of the present invention can remove particles by overflowing the solution of electrolytes instead of including the above filter.
