National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Reduction of Uranium Hexafluoride by Carbon Tetrachloride in the Gaseous Phase.

DE88705025

Publication Date	1987
Personal Author	Xu, H.; Qiu, L.
Page Count	17
Abstract	The reduction of UF6 to UF4 by CCl4 in a 0.08 m diameter vertical glass reactor has been studied. In the tests, UF6 and CCl4, preheated to about 350 deg C, were fed into the reactor and the tower walls were held at about 500 deg C, the reaction was taking place almost completely in the gaseous phase. A high temperature flames can be visually observed by increasing in the reactant feed rates, and the brightness of the flame changes with the reactant feed rates. The conversion of UF6 is essentially complete if a CCl4 excess is maintained. The method is considered to be an effective process to meet continuous conversion of slightly enriched UF6.
