Abstract Ammonium uranates (AU) obtained by the addition of aqueous NH4 OH to a solution of UO2 (NO3)2 or the equilibrium reaction of UO3 · 2H2 O with the vapour over concentrated NH4 OH have been studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, diffuse reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (DR-FTIR) and chemical analysis. Ammonia can be present as either NH3 or NH 4 + . For precipitates obtained at a pH of 3.7, ammonia in the form of NH3 is predominant. For ammonium uranate obtained by reaction over concentrated NH4OH, most of the ammonia is bonded as NH 4 + . The reaction mechanism and structures of the products are also discussed.
