Uranium (IV) sulfate is a chemical compound of uranium from the group of sulfates . In addition to this, another uranium sulfate is known, uranium (III) sulfate .
presentation
Uranium (IV) sulfate octahydrate can be obtained by cathodic reduction of uranyl sulfate UO 2 SO 4 .
The tetrahydrate can be obtained by adding sulfuric acid to the solution of the octahydrate.
properties
Uranium (IV) sulfate octahydrate is a dark green solid with monoclinic prismatic crystals which, when dissolved in water, hydrolyze with the separation of the basic sulfate UOSO 2 · 2H 2 O. The tetrahydrate occurs as a whitish-green precipitate made up of star-shaped crystals with an orthorhombic crystal structure .
