Advanced Large-scale Uranium Purification and Conversion Bases 

China has established two uranium purification and conversion bases in northern and southern China respectively. Using the integrated process of uranium purification and conversion, the two bases have formed a 10,000-ton uranium purification and conversion capacity through the development and application of key equipment such as pulsed extraction columns, fluidized beds and new fluorination reactors. The automated control of the production lines has been improved through digital technology systems. Thanks to the material recycling technology, the volume of waste generated has been cut down from the source, which has made the production lines much safer and more eco-friendly. Overall, the purification and conversion process is now advanced by international standards. 

先进大型铀纯化转化生产基地

中国建立了南北两个铀纯化转化生产基地。两个基地采用铀纯化转化一体化工艺,通过脉冲萃取柱、流化床、新型氟化反应器等关键设备的研发应用,形成了万吨级铀纯化转化生产能力;应用数字化技术系统提高了生产线自动化控制水平;物料循环利用技术从源头上减少了废物的产生量,大幅提升了生产线安全环保水平。纯化转化工艺技术总体达到国际先进水平。
