Uranyl peroxide or uranium peroxide hydrate (UO4·nH2O) is a pale-yellow soluble peroxide of uranium. It is found to be present at one stage of the enriched uranium fuel cycle and in yellowcake prepared via the in situ leaching and resin ion exchange system. This compound also expressed as:UO3·(H2O2)·(H2O) is very similar to uranium trioxide hydrate UO3·nH2O. The dissolution behaviour of both compounds are very sensitive to the hydration state (n can vary between 0 and 4).
