Kinetics of the dissolution of uranium dioxide in nitric acid. I

Abstract
The kinetics of the dissolution of uranium dioxide in nitric acid have been investigated over a range of acid concentration from 0·3 to 37·0 molal. A change in the reduction mechanism for nitric acid is indicated at about 16 molal concentration.A proposed mechanism for the initial rate period of dissolution is consistent with experimental results and with the known thermodynamics of the system.
