A uranate is a ternary oxide involving the element uranium in one of the oxidation states 4, 5 or 6. A typical chemical formula is M x U y O z , where M represents a cation. The uranium atom in uranates(VI) has two short collinear U–O bonds and either four or six more next nearest oxygen atoms. [ 1 ]

Sodium uranate may be obtained in the amorphous form by heating together urano-uranic oxide and sodium chlorate; or by heating sodium uranyl acetate or carbonate. The crystalline form is produced by adding the green oxide in small quantities to fused sodium chloride, or by dissolving the amorphous form in fused sodium chloride, and allowing ...
Ammonium diuranate or (ADU) ((NH 4) 2 U 2 O 7), is one of the intermediate chemical forms of uranium produced during yellowcake production. The name "yellowcake" originally given to this bright yellow salt, now applies to mixtures of uranium oxides which are actually hardly ever yellow.
Uranyl nitrate is a water-soluble yellow uranium salt with the formula UO 2 (NO 3) 2 · n H 2 O.The hexa-, tri-, and dihydrates are known. [3] The compound is mainly of interest because it is an intermediate in the preparation of nuclear fuels.
Yellowcake. Yellowcake (also called urania) is a type of powdered uranium concentrate obtained from leach solutions, in an intermediate step in the processing of uranium ores.
Uraninite used to be known as pitchblende (from pitch, because of its black color, and blende, from blenden meaning "to deceive", a term used by German miners to denote minerals whose density suggested metal content, but whose exploitation, at the time they were named, was either unknown or not economically feasible).
Magnesium diuranate (MgU 2 O 7) is a compound of uranium. [1] It is known in the uranium refining industry as "MDU" and forms the major part of some yellowcake mixtures. . Yellowcakes are an intermediate product in the uranium refinin
