A kinetic study of the synthesis of nitrides using carbothermic reduction of UO, and PuO, in flowing N2 was conducted. Reaction rate constants as functions of the reaction temperature and Nz flow rate were determined. The measured rate constants varied with temperature according to the Arrhenius equation a t constant N2 flow rates. In logarithmic form, the measured rate constants also varied linearly with N2 flow rate at constant temperature, up to a f l~w rate o f 120 cm"/min-g of reactant. The rate constant for a particular reaction temperature and N, flow rate can be calculated from the logarithmic form of the Arrhenius equation by adding a flow-rate term. The expressionIn k(7.,F)=( -86,000/RT)+18.1+0.021Ffits the kinetic data from 1430" to 1625'C. Close agreement was obtained between calculated and experimental rate constants determined for 50-g batch production runs. The reaction rates measured are considered rapid enough for an economical nitride process.
