| Abstract | Ultrasonically assisted hydrolytic precipitation of U(VI) in the presence of mesoporous alumina followed by thermal treatment of a solid precursor enabled the formation of crystallized uranyl aluminate (URAL) nanoparticles (NPs) dispersed in the alumina matrix. The effect of U(VI) concentration and calcination temperature on the yield of URAL NPs was studied using XRD, XAFS and HRTEM techniques. At 800 °C, URAL NPs (d ≈ 5 nm) are formed only for a low uranium loading of about 5 wt% whereas for a higher content of uranium, larger U3O8 NPs (d ≈ 20 nm) were identified as the principal uranium species. At 500 °C, URAL NPs are formed even for 25 wt% of uranium. The U LIII edge EXAFS spectra pointed out that uranyl cations in URAL are coordinated by bidentate aluminate groups. Presumably URAL is formed during the heating of the 2UO3·NH3·2H2O/AlO(OH) precursor. However, high temperature and higher content of uranium promote transformation of URAL to more thermodynamically stable U3O8. This process is accompanied by the growth of uranium NPs via the Ostwald ripening mechanism. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
