abstract = {A process for production of micrometer-sized particles
composed of uranium oxide using aerosol spray pyrolysis is
characterized with respect to the various production
parameters. The aerosol is generated using a vibrating
orifice aerosol generator providing monodisperse droplets,
which are oxidized in a subsequent heat treatment. Zhe final
particles are characterized with microanalytical methods to
determine size, shape, internal morphology, and chemical and
structural properties in order to assess the suitability of
the produced particles as a reference material for
microanalytical methods, in particular, for mass
spectrometry. It is demonstrated that physicochemical
processes during particle formation and the heat treatment
to chemically transform particles into an oxide strongly
influence the particle shape and the internal morphology.
Synchrotron μ-X-ray based techniques combined with μ-Raman
spectroscopy have been applied to demonstrate that the
obtained microparticles consist of a triuranium octoxide
phase. Our studies demonstrate that the process is capable
of delivering spherical particles with determined uniform
size and elemental as well as chemical composition. The
particles therefore represent a suitable base material to
fulfill the homogeneity and stability requirements of a
reference material for microanalytical methods applied in,
for example, international safeguards or nuclear forensics.},
