Abstract

Uranium tetrafluoride is prepared by reacting uranium hexafluoride with an organic compound which is capable of being fluorinated. Preferred organic compounds are liquid at ordinary temperature and are preferably unsaturated partially chlorinated hydrocarbons or partially chlorofluorinated hydrocarbons. The organic compounds may be diluted with organic solvents inert to the reaction components, for example carbon tetrachloride or highly fluorinated organic solvents. According to an example, uranium hexafluoride vapour was passed into dry trichlorethylene and the resultant suspension was filtered to recover the uranium tetrachloride which was steam distilled and dried in hydrogen. Hexachlorpropylene may be similarly employed. Uranium dioxide may be obtained by mixing the filtered uranium tetrafluoride with excess ammonium carbonate, heating in the presence of water, followed by steam distillation and drying in hydrogen.
