Abstract
Uranium hexafluoride is prepared by reacting uranyl fluoride with elemental fluorine. The uranyl fluoride may be prepared by reacting uranium trioxide with anhydrous or aqueous hydrofluoric acid. According to an example, uranium trioxide was heated to 300 DEG C. and anhydrous hydrofluoric acid passed thereover. The reaction vessel was swept clear of water vapour by a stream of inert gas such as nitrogen and the temperature thereafter raised to 350 DEG C. and elemental fluorine was passed in. Uranium hexafluoride was formed and passed into a condensing chamber. The uranyl fluoride may also be prepared by reacting a 48 per cent aqueous hydrofluoric acid solution with uranium trioxide and thereafter evaporating the mixture and dehydrating the uranyl fluoride at about 300 DEG C.
