In this video we take a look at an amateur accessible route to obtaining a pure uranium compound of known stoichiometry, which can be used for future experiments.
Note: The uranium peroxide can be carefully heated at around 300°C to obtain orange UO3, which dissolves more readily in a variety of acids to produce other desired uranium compounds. Care should be taken to not overheat, or else brown-green U3O8 may form that is difficult to dissolve.
