Fluorination of Uranium Metal by Fluorine Gas

- Summary
- Metrics

Abstract

A study has been made on the fluorination of uranium metal chips to UF6 with fluorine gas in the temperature range of 100° to 400°C. The formation of UF6 was influenced by the concentration and the flow rate of fluorine gas and by the reaction temperature. The reaction occurred apparently above 200°C. Uranium metal was first converted to low fluorine content compound such as UF3 or UF4-x, then to UF4 and finally to UF6. The intermediate compounds were confirmed by X-ray analysis and by their color.
