PREPARATION OF NUCLEAR-PURE THORIUM TETRAFLUORIDE
-
摘要: <正> 钍经中子幅照后可产生~(233)U,是核燃料的来源之一。作为生产~(233)U的钍或其化合物,要求较高的纯度。如美国原子能委员会1952年公布的几种杂质含量为镉0.1 ppm,硼0.4 PPm,铈2 ppm,镧 4 ppm……。巴西公布的杂质为铀1 ppm,硼0.2 ppm,镉0.1ppm,希土总量1ppm……。Abstract: This paper reports a wet--processing technique for the preparation of nuclear--pure thorium tetrafluoride. Tens of kilograms of pure ThF_4 were produced by theabove process. Results show that nuclear--pure ThF_4 can be prepared by control-ling the flow ratio of HF/Th and selecting suitable temperature and stirringspeed.
