Uranyl sulfate (UO2SO4) a sulfate of uranium presents as an odorless lemon-yellow sand-like solid in its pure crystalline form.
It has found use as a negative stain in microscopy and tracer in biology. The Aqueous Homogeneous Reactor experiment, constructed in 1951, circulated a fuel composed of 565 grams of U-235 enriched to 14.7% in the form of uranyl sulfate.
The acid process of milling uranium ores involves precipitating uranyl sulfate from the pregnant leaching solution to produce the semi-refined product referred to as yellowcake.
Radioactivity was discovered using a type of uranyl sulfate, K2UO2(SO4),sub>2.
