Documented Uses

• Uranium tetrachloride is used as feed in the electromagnetic isotope separation (EMIS) process of uranium enrichment. (L254)
• Uranium chloride (UCl4): INACTIVE
• Uranium is absorbed in low amounts via oral, inhalation, and dermal routes. Uranium in body fluids generally exists as the uranyl ion (UO2)2+ complexed with anions, such as citrate and bicarbonate, or plasma proteins. Uranium preferentially distributes to bone, liver, and kidney. The large majority of uranium that enters the body is not absorbed and is eliminated from the body via the urine and faeces. (L248)
