Abstract
<PICT:0785973/III/1> In the manufacture of uranium tetrachloride by reacting carbon tetrachloride and uranium oxide at elevated temperature, carbon tetrachloride vapour generated from liquid carbon tetrachloride in a first chamber is caused to flow under gravity into a second chamber containing the uranium oxide maintained at an elevated temperature, and the chambers are so interconnected that the gaseous reaction products pass from the second chamber upwardly into and through the first. As shown in the drawing a reaction vessel 3 is made up of two chambers A and B which are connected to a water cooled condenser L which has a central concentric pipe C passing therethrough and into the centre of the chamber A. The upper end of the inner tube of the condenser L is provided with a vent 4 and, in another limb a drip feed for carbon tetrachloride from a vessel 2. In operation carbon tetrachloride liquid is placed in vessel B which is heated by a sand bath and the uranium oxide reactant is placed in a similarly heated vessel A. A stream of inert gas such as nitrogen is flowed into the reaction chamber A through pipe C. Carbon tetrachloride vapour from the heated pool of liquid in the vaporizing chamber B gravitates through the neck of the reaction vessel into the reaction zone A where it reacts with the uranium oxide to yield uranium tetrachloride phosgene and chlorine, the latter gases passing upwardly through the reaction vessel neck assisted by a gentle stream of inert gas flowing through pipe 3, to the condenser L. Uncondensed gases pass out at 4 whilst unreacted carbon tetrachloride and phosgene condense in the condenser and flow back to the vessel B; the level in the latter is maintained constant by drip feed from vessel 2. The uranium tetrachloride formed remains in the reaction vessel A. The reaction is preferably effected at atmospheric pressure and a temperature range of 425-475 DEG C. is suitable when uranium dioxide is employed as starting material.
