    • There is provided a process for the production of pourable, directly compactable uranium dioxide powder by continuous precipitation of uranium peroxide from a stirred uranyl nitrate solution at a pH of 1 - 2.5 with hydrogen peroxide, calcining of the peroxide at 500.degree.- 800.degree. C. and subsequent reduction at 550.degree.- 750.degree. C. The precipitation solution contains 70 - 150 g/l of uranium and 0.80 g/l of ammonium nitrate and is treated with 15 - 20% aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution in the ratio of U:H.sub.2 O.sub.2 from 1:1.5 to 1:3 and there is led through the solution a mixture of ammonia and air having an air-ammonia volume ratio of 1:0.3 - 0.6. An apparatus for carrying out the process is also described. SUBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention is directed to a process and apparatus for the production of directly pressable (moldable) uranium dioxide powder from uranium peroxide (UO.sub.4.xH.sub.2 O) which is continuously precipitated from uranyl nitrate solution whereby by variation of the precipitation conditions as well as the temperature in the subsequent calcination and reduction the properties of the UO.sub.2 powder are so regulated that in the pressing and sintering of tablets (pellets) it is possible to vary the sintered density in the large range of 75-95% of the theoretical density without additional conditioning steps such as plasticizing, granulating or sieving.In order to take steps against the swelling of the fuel at the higher burn-up rates in modern light water reactors, the sintered density in the UO.sub.2 pellets has been reduced from 95% of the theoretical density partially up to 90%. Such a variation of the sintered density is not possible with the previously known processes for the production of uranium dioxide and of the thus obtained powders. The future reactor generation, the sodium cooled breeder reactor, however, must contain pellets with a sintered density of only 80-85% of the theoretical density. For this purpose, the presently known processes for the production of uranium dioxide powder must employ a conditioning of the UO.sub.2 powders. Either the entire UO.sub.2 powder must be subsequently calcined at 1100.degree.-1400.degree. C. or be mixed with a large portion of highly calcined UO.sub.2. Such powders, however, are inclined partially to resintering which cannot be permitted for the operation of the reactor since the fuel elements are damaged thereby.There have become known a series of precipitation processes according to which sinterable UO.sub.2 is produced from uranyl nitrate solutions. However, there are only a few processes, as, e.g., via the precipitation of ammonium uranyl carbonate, with which it is possible to produce a free-flowing UO.sub.2 powder which permits a direct pressing of UO.sub.2 pellets without pretreatment. With all known processes, however, there is formed a UO.sub.2 powder from which there can only be produced pellets with relatively high sintered density.Therefore, it was the problem of the present invention to find a process and apparatus for the production of a free-flowing uranium dioxide powder which could be directly compacted and worked to pellets with an adjustable sintered density of 75-95% of the theoretical density without granulating or other aftertreatment.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThis problem was solved by producing the uranium dioxide powder by continuous precipitation of uranium peroxide from uranyl nitrate solution with hydrogen peroxide, calcining the peroxide at 500.degree.-800.degree. C. and subsequently reducing it at 550.degree.-750.degree. C. According to the invention, the precipitation solution contains 70-150 g/l of uranium and 0-80 g/l of ammonium nitrate. To this solution there is added a 15 to 20% aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution in the ratio of U:H.sub.2 O.sub.2 of from 1:1.5 to 1:3 and there is led through the solution an ammonia-air mixture with an air to ammonia volume ratio of 1:0.3 to 1:0.6. The pH of the solution must be adjusted to 1-2.5 and additionally the reaction mixture is stirred. When ammonium nitrate is employed, it usually is present in an amount of at most 80 g/l.Preferably the precipitation solution contains 90-120 g/l of uranium, is treated with a 17.5% hydrogen peroxide solution, and an air-ammonia mixture having a volume ratio of 1:0.45 is led through and the pH is adjusted to 1.5-2.It is especially advantageous if the circulation rate of the reaction mixture is regulated to such an extent by the stirring that the entire volume of liquid passes the stirrer 2-4 times a minute, preferably 3 times a minute, when the ammonia-air mixture is led in at a distance of 80-120 mm, preferably 100 mm above the inlet of the uranyl nitrate and the H.sub.2 O.sub.2 solution is introduced 40-60 mm, preferably 50 mm above the inlet for the ammonia-air mixture.The uranyl nitrate solution used generally contains 0.5 N free HNO.sub.3 and is preferably produced by dissolving U.sub.3 O.sub.8 with HNO.sub.3. These solutions are used to produce less sinterable UO.sub.2 powder, i.e., for the production of pellets with lower sintered density, for production of highly sinterable UO.sub.2 powder (i.e., high sintered density), there is added to the precipitation solution up to 80 g/l of ammonium nitrate.The calcining can take place in air. The reduction takes place using a conventional reducing medium, e.g., hydrogen.The flowability and sintering properties of the UO.sub.2 powder are primarily influenced by the shape of the uranium peroxide precipitate. This must be spherical and remain constant during the entire time of precipitation. The uniformity of the precipitation is obtained by using a special precipitation apparatus.

    • A process for producing precipitated silicic acid products having new and improved properties is disclosed. The silica products are produced by the simultaneous introduction of a solution of an alkali metal silicate and an acid, such as sulfuric acid, into an aqueous receiving medium which contains a salt or electrolyte. The pH of the aqueous receiving medium is adjusted prior to the introduction of the acid and silicate so that it is the same or equal to that pH at which the precipitation of the pigment is effected. The electrolyte is preferably a metal salt of the acid used for acidulation of the silicate. The acid and silicate are added to the receiving medium at a rate such that the precipitating pH is maintained constant. The products of the invention are characterized by their high abrasiveness and have a relative cleaning ability or scale (RCS) equivalent to high grade phosphates used as polishing agents in toothpastes and a superior fluoride compatibility to that of said phosphates. The silicates used in the process are preferably those which are partially polymerized and have a SiO.sub.2 /Na.sub.2 O ratio of at least 2.0.
