Definition from
European Nuclear Society:
Yellow cake is the final product of the milling of uranium ore. It contains about 80 % of uranium oxide and is usually represented by the formula U3O8. The yellow cake produced by most modern mills is actually brown or black, not yellow; the name comes from the colour and texture of the concentrates produced by early mining operations due to impurities from ammonium diuranate (NH4)2U2O7.
Example sentences:
The solvents are removed by evaporating in a vacuum and ammonium diuranate, (NH4)2U2O7, is precipitated by adding ammonia to neutralize the solution. The diuranate is then heated to yield a purified, solid U3O8, known as yellow cake. (Kennesaw State University )
On site, close to the mines, the uranium is concentrated and transformed into a yellow powder, commonly called yellow cake, which contains 75% of uranium. It is in this form that the uranium is marketed. (planete-energies.com)
The first stage of this process is to dissolve the yellow cake in nitric acid; solvent extraction using tributyl phosphate in a hydrocarbon solution extracts the uranium from the various impurities and then the extract is washed with dilute nitric acid to produce uranyl nitrate in a very pure form.

žuti kolač
Definition from
own experience or research:
Žuti kolač je međuprodukt u proizvodnji uranijum-dioksida iz uranijumske rude.
Example sentences:
Ovim procesom se dobija takozvani žuti kolač (U3F8), koji se filtrira i prosuši. (Wikipedia)
UF6 se hemijskim procesom dobija od takozvanog "žutog kolača", koncentrata dobijenog od rude uranijuma. (Beta (novinska agencija))
Rezerve urana računaju se prema sadržaju uranovog oksida U2O3 (žuti kolač), a računaju se i na bazi cene eksploatacije 1kg ili 1t koncentrata. (Rudarsko-Geološki Fakultet Beograd)
