In this work, a technique was proposed to prepare UO2 from UO3 by the two processes of fluorination reaction of UO3 with NH4HF2 and electrochemical reduction of UO22+ for the recycle uranium. The feasibility of fluorination reaction was firstly confirmed using thermodynamic calculation; then, the products were analyzed using XRD, Raman and fluorescence to be UO2F2. The fluorination mechanism was inferred to be UO3(s) + NH4HF2 → (NH4)3UO2F5→ NH4(UO2)2F5 → UO2F2. The redox behavior of UO22+ on W electrode was investigated by cyclic voltammetry and square wave voltammetry, which indicated that UO22+ was reduced to UO2via a two-step single electron transfer with diffusion-controlled. The diffusion coefficient of UO22+ was calculated to be 6.22 × 10−5 cm2/s. The disproportionation reaction of UO2+ was observed, and the relationship between the disproportionation reaction and scan rate was discussed. Moreover, the electrochemical fabrication of UO2 was conducted by electrolysis at −0.8 V, and the product was analyzed by XRD, SEM and EDS to be UO2. ICP-AES results showed that the extraction efficiency of UO2 could reach 98.53%. UO3 obtained by high-temperature oxidation of spent fuel is first fluorinated to produce UO2F2, and then UO2F2 is electrochemically reduced to the oxide fuel UO2 in LiCl-KCl molten salt.
