The kinetics of the oxidation of uranium(IV) by molecular oxygen in aqueous perchloric acid solution were studied. Over a considerable range of conditions, the results are fitted approximately by the rate law:−d[UIV]/dt = k[UIV] [O2]/[H+], where k ≈ 2 × 1014 exp[−22,000/RT]sec.−1. The reaction is catalyzed by Cu++ and inhibited by small amounts of Ag+ and Cl−. The results are interpreted in terms of a chain reaction mechanism involving UO2+ and HO2 as chain carriers.
