PCT No. PCT/FR96/01993 Sec. 371 Date Mar. 2, 1999 Sec. 102(e) Date Mar. 2, 1999 PCT Filed Dec. 12, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO97/21629 PCT Pub. Date Jun. 19, 1997A thermal decomposition method useful in the nuclear industry for preparing a powdered mixture of metal oxides having suitable reactivity from nitrates thereof in the form of an aqueous solution or a mixture of solids. According to the method, the solution or the mixture of solids is thermomechanically contacted with a gaseous fluid in the contact area of a reaction chamber, said gaseous fluid being fed into the reaction chamber at the same time as the solution or mixture at a temperature no lower than the decomposition temperature of the nitrates, and having a mechanical energy high enough to generate a fine spray of the solution or a fine dispersion of the solid mixture, and instantly decompose the nitrates. The resulting oxide mixtures may be used to prepare nuclear fuels. |
