Carbon was investigated as an anode material for electrolytic reduction in pyroprocessing. UO2 was successfully reduced to U repeatedly using the carbon anode and the LiCl molten salt could be reused. While reusing the molten salt with a carbon anode is difficult under normal conditions (3 V) due to Li2CO3 formation, applying a high voltage (> 10 V) and thus high current with Cl-2 evolution enabled reuse of the LiCl molten salt to keep low Li2CO3 concentration.
