Engineering Development of Fluid-Bed Fluoride Volatility Processes. Part 13. Pilot-Plant Studies of the Fluorination of Uranium Oxide With Bromine Pentafluoride.

“…The average retention for the runs with 4.4-kg UO2 charges was 0.214 kg of UF6 per kg of NaF. This value agrees quite well with data obtained on trapping 54 UF.6 from a fluorine-nitrogen stream in prototype equipment at ORGDP. As shown by Table XXIII, the total uranium accounted for was 100 + 5% of that charged (5% is the estimated analysis accuracy) for seven of the ten runs made.…”

Laboratory Investigations in Support of Fluid-Bed Fluoride Volatility Processes. Part Xx. Fission-Product Tellurium Off-Gas Disposal in the Fluid-Bed Fluoride Volatility Process.

“…Gas sorption with tellurium hexafluoride on various + sorbents was studied, both in static and flowing type systems, 1,3 4 to evaluate 13 sorbents as potential trapping agents for tellurium hexafluoride. Radio-·tagged tellurium hexafluoride was used .in the gas-flow studies, These studies revealed that activated alumina can effectively remove tellurium hexafluoride from an off-gas stream containing fluorind.…”
