Murray, A M

The phase diagrams can help in understanding the process. The approach taken is calculated binary and ternary phase diagrams and optimized thermodynamic parameters. The salt extraction system uses the salts Cs/sub 2/PuCl/sub 6/ and CaCl/sub 2/. Al, Mg, and Ca are used in the salt scrub system. Phase sections are given together with recommendations. (DLC)
