Abstract
The main directions of the depleted uranium compounds utilization, modern trends in the use of uranium oxides and complex compounds based on them in catalytic processes, and methods for producing uranium oxides are considered in the review. It is shown that oxygenated uranium compounds are promising in all areas of catalysis, including environmental protection processes, organic synthesis, photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, processes for the production of hydrogen and valuable chemical compounds. The achievements of the Boreskov Institute of Catalysis SB RAS in the development of methods for the production of uranium oxides with different U/O ratios and uranium-containing catalysts for environmental protection and hydrogen production within the framework of the international program “Development of technology for the production of new effective catalysts based on raw materials from depleted uranium oxides” are described in detail. The review includes foreign and domestic publications from 1955 to 2021.
