Uranium sulfate (U(SO4)2) is a water soluble salt of uranium. It is a very toxic compound and should not be ingested. Uranium sulfate minerals commonly are widespread around uranium bearing mine sites, where they usually form during the evaporation of acid sulfate-rich mine tailings which have been leached by oxygen-bearing waters. Uranium sulfate is a transitional compound in the production of Uranium hexafluoride. It was also used to fuel aqueous Homogeneous Reactors

Preparation

Uranyl sulfate in solution is readily photochemically reduced to uranium(IV) sulfate. The photoreduction can be carried out in the sunshine and this requires the addition of ethanol as a reducing agent. Uranium(IV) crystallizes or is precipitated by ethanol in excess. It can be obtained with different degrees of hydration.
