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 UO₂ via 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 UO₂²⁺ 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%.
