Uranium Metal & Depleted Uranium Oxide

Designations:

Chemical Name: Uranium metal (U) & Uranium oxide (U308)

Description:

The highest member of the naturally occurring elements, uranium is of great importance as a nuclear fuel. Once thought to be quite rare in occurrence, it is now known to be more abundant than silver cadmium, or mercury. It is lustrous, silvery-white metal that is malleable, ductile, and softer than steel. Uranium is dense, radioactive, and slightly paramagnetic. In powder form, uranium is pyrophoric and reactive in water. Uranium metal is usually produced from uranium tetrafluoride, or green salt, in a thermite type reaction with magnesium.

Typical Applications:

Aside from nuclear applications (U-235), depleted uranium (U-238) is used in radiation shielding, counterweights in aircraft, gyroscopic rotors and vibration damping. Potential non-military applications include: use in solar cells, environmental restoration, uranium oxide based catalysts (Fuel combustion, oxidation of various toxic products, VOC destruction, oil and gas processing e.g. steam or dry reforming of hydrocarbons), uranium cermet, and semiconductors.

Packaging Options:

Airtight glass under argon in drums
