ashing, calcination, oxydation, pyrolysis, reduction, thermal recycling
Reduction of uranium oxide (e. g. Triuranium octoxide (U3O8) to uranium dioxide (UO2)) in hydrogen atmosphere.
Other possible applications are:
calcination, drying, heat treatment of bulk materials (powder, granules, …)
active carbon production
pyrolysis (e. g. waste, biomass)
