Sodium diuranate (Na₂U₂O₇) is an inorganic ceramic compound containing uranium in oxidized form, belonging to the family of uranium oxides and uranates. This material is primarily encountered in nuclear fuel processing, uranium ore refining, and waste management contexts, where it serves as an intermediate compound in the conversion and purification of uranium. While not commonly used as a structural or functional ceramic in commercial applications, Na₂U₂O₇ is significant in the nuclear industry for its role in uranium chemistry and as a precursor material in nuclear fuel fabrication; its handling and processing require specialized nuclear-grade facilities and expertise.
